[cool]Hey, coolfool, those "buglemouth bass" just don't get the respect they deserve. They won't win any beauty contests but they have provided a lot of great action for kids and newbies when the more glamorous species develop lockjaw. Heck, I ain't no newbie, but I still enjoy some good hand to fin combat with a nasty ol carp once in a while. They do stretch your string.
Hardest battle I ever had was a 25# mirror carp (like you caught at Pineview) I hooked on a six weight flyrod in Willard, from my tube. That puppy towed me all over the lake before giving me back my little green crappie fly.
