My boy...MINI!!!

 

[Scott Hammer TOXIC]

Dan, you sure that is not a tarpon?!?!?! LOL!!



TOXIC

 

[TOMMY RICH]

Nice carp...and I believe that may be a hybrid also. The one that Kim has is really unusual and not real common. It is an Israeli carp that were stocked in the lake for vegetation control. It's sides were smooth with very few scales and I mean a brighter orange. Felt like Sharkskin on the sides

I posted a message sometime back about hooking a huge carp in a local lake (the same lake I fished with TrepMan).

I couldn't weigh it but I swear it was half the mength of my PT-17 and took 33 minutes to get to the boat. If I had to guess I would say it was as big as the one Dan is showing us. It was the hardest fish to get in that I have ever hooked.

I hooked that one on a crankbait with 8# BPS Excel line in a canal on the north end of Okeechobee during practice at a BASS event. At first we thought it was a tarpon. (They still catch them in the lake, usually closer to either seaway lock.) After 15-20 minutes without the first jump or run to the surface, we started thinking Garp. (Gar or Carp.) Not wanting to lose the little handmade crank on the end of my line, I had to fight it for over 30 minutes to tire it out and get my bait. It looked like a giant wild shiner, but I guess that's what grass carp are. It was a hoot!

 

[gone bye bye]

Ken, that is a little one. What made it cool was that it was caught while crappie fishing on a 5'4" rod and 4lb test
