Catch of the Day!

[Tater]

I was fishing in the back yard and usually catch some perch, smallies and largemouth bass. I was fishing yesterday and saw a lot of bubbles on the pond and fish "fins" breaking the water surface. Got out the bread balls and nailed a beauty. 8 lb test line and 30+ minutes later I got it in. Each time I got it close to shore and said "I think he's tired out"...ZING...........he would take 20-30ft of line then we would do the dance all over again.

Not being a fisherman, what kind of fish is that? And the weight?

 

[fubar]

Type of Fish : Damn
Weight : Big ..

Nice pull there Tater. Are you on Singletary?

 

[Tater]

It is a Karp. It didn't weigh it my scale doesn't go higher then 10 lbs and didn't want the fish to die while I searched for my heavy weeight scale. He felt like 20lbs but that may be off a bit. It was just under 30 inches.

Dhorothy Pond.

 

[jamz]

nice! How do you fish with bread balls? Squish em up and put em on the hook?

 

[the jeff]

[Erebus]

Sounds like he released it.

How do you tell the sex of bread?

Nice catch, glad you had a camera handy so you could share your adventure with us.

yep. I saw him swim by my dock and switched from crank bait to a hook and just balled up bread, wet it, packed it tight on hook and tossed it out. They sink to the bottom. Karp are like a vacuum, they suck up anything that smells like food.

what did you do with it?

Released it.

If it won't sleep with me it's female....

My friend had time to get my camera from my house while I was fighting it. Hell he had time to bake a cake it took 30-35min to get him in to keep from breaking my line.

Even though they may not be great eating, they are a great fight and can be difficult to bring in on light test line. Nice job!

[Bluegill]

Duuuuude that's friggin HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice catch.
I've fished Dorothy several times, its loaded with bass. I was told by the landowner who's lot I was fishing from that his nephew ran out of the water screaming that he just saw the biggest fish of his life. I bet you any money that it was a giant carp that he saw that day.

Again Congrats.

Nice catch, Tater!!

Looks more like Ron White... y'know, AKA "Tater Salad"?

 

[pj150]

That looks like a mirror carp with the weird scales. Somewhat scarce. If it was a butterfly mirrored in an other color than brown/gold, you might want to keep that in a kiddie pool and call up some pet stores. I've caught a few like that in the Charles. People pay up to 400 bucks for those.
