When I was a kid my dad took me to a river in southern New York State to catch some stripers and some white bass. My dad 2 had poles out(1 with live minnow and one with night crawler) and I had one with crawler. I was messing around like kids do. Next thing I know dad was yelling get your pole get your pole. I came running up and slipped in the mud and slid in to water up to my butt. When I got up my dad handed me the pole and I fought this fish for about 10 minutes. I was hoping for a striper but it was a 8 pound carp. 2 minutes later dad had a 4 pound striper.It still is the biggest fish that I ever caught.
