This was in the Dec. 2004 issue of Nebraskaland magazine.

"A 64 pound grass carp taken from Wilson Creek 2X in Otoe County shattered the previous Nebraska species record of 51 pounds. Malik Solunovic of Lincoln was fishing for bass and crappie in a float tube when the carp took the Shad Rap on his 10-pound test line. Biologist said the fish, which had a 33-inch girth and was 46.5 inches long, probably was the result of a 1979 stocking of grass carp in the lake to control vegetation."

The thing that really caught my attention was that this fish was caught on a Shad Rap.
