Hey Gang,

Yesterday I finally hooked a Grass Carp-woohoo!

I can only say hooked because it broke off after about 15 minutes as we were trying to shore land it. I had the pleasure of seeing it quite well and taking a few pictures of the fight and comedy of the landing. I'll try to post as soon as the pictures are developed. It hit a big nightcrawler on 6# test with spinning gear and felt like a big ole Redfish, I'd estimate the length to be about 30 inches.We tried and tried to grabit but every time we'd lay a hand on it it would take off and make the drag sing-WOW that was cool! I'll be going to the store today to pick up a salmon size landing net in case it ever happens again.

Thanks to the fish,

Chip
