"As long as you have a line in the water anything is possible when fishing"

I have heard that said so many times on this site and it proved true for me today....

I went out to a local lake fishing for largemouth bass. A cold front had just come through so I decided the best bait would be a six inch finess worm. About 20 minutes in I got my first hit and when I set the hook I was sure I had hooked into the world record largemouth bass for sure. It must have taken my drag out to the middle of the lake. Anyway after a while I figured it was not a bass because it did not feel like one at all....

After a 10 minute fight I ended up landing this 31 inch common carp. This is the second biggest carp I have ever caught and the first one I have ever caught on a lure. Here are the pics of the fish. How much do you guys think this carp weighs. I am 5 foot 5 inches tall and a little overweight for my height....

Here is another pic of the fish. This fish also ends my two month slump of not catching anything over four pounds....

nice carp ,u got the luck...

I also caught a weird fish today that was about that size. A koi on an LC pointer. I hooked him in the fin on accident. He ran out into the middle of the pond and just sulked in the deepest part of the pond. It was a 15 minute fight with 8 lb. line. And he ended up getting away.  ;D

That thing is huge...12+lbs if I had to guess, but I am horrible at that. I see carp in almost every body of water I fish and I never heard of anyone catching one on a lure...kudos!! Great catch!!

Strange looking bass!!! ;D ;D ;D

Awesome job landing that fish!!  Way to go FPB!!
