Today was an amazing day. I always say this and I believe it with all my heart: God blesses the dedicated fisherman. Today God blessed me in a BIG way. First off, we caught a carp on our trotline and don't get me wrong, I was fired up about that. It took my homemade carp bait again. Then I found a dead smallmouth buffalo washed up on the bank. This find makes five species in the creek that we know of for sure. Carp, gar, bluegill, black bullhead, and smallmouth buffalo. If you like to fish for "trash fish" then this is the place for you. However, the best was yet to come. I hooked into a carp and everything felt fairly normal. That was until it pulled about 20 feet of line out out of my reel. I tightened my drag, only to have this monster pull about 20 more feet out of my reel. When I finally got the big guy on the bank I was shocked. My seconds biggest carp of all time weighing in at 8.25 pounds. In all the excitement and high fives we forgot to get a measure on him. Hope you enjoy the pics. Tight Lines!!!
