Today I went catfish fishing at the pond by my house. I seem to be addicted to fishing now and it seems I am going fishing almost every day. Anyway I pulled out one catfish of about 2 pounds about 15 minutes in on a dough ball. The catfish in this pond love dough balls. Then an hour went by without catching anything. Then I got a hit and managed to catch this big, colorful, beast of a carp.

here is another picture showing the carps two toned scale pattern. If your wondering about the stringer in the picture I did not keep this fish. I had to put him on a stringer in the water and wait for someone to come and take the picture since I was fishing by myself. I realeased the fish after the pictures.
