Okay, okay, so it's just a monster "brown" carp. Took my seven-year-old twin grandsons and a gdaughter down to Yuba today for some fast fishin' and catchin'. Catchin'[/i] is the fun thing for them. It matters not if they are browns, bows, or carp.
They had a blast. Fished off the side of the dock at Painted Rocks with worms and caught fish faster than I could bait hooks. Used crawlers. Most were smallish -- maybe 12 to 16 inches but then one of the boys got a snag..... a snag that moved. It was an awesome fight with several long runs. Using his K-mart special pole and 6 pound test line it took several minutes to bring the behemoth to shore.
Great day but kind of windy. Saw a couple of guys out after pike but never saw them hook any.
The attached picture says it all. One of the boys gave me the ultimate compliment went he told me "When I get old like you I'm going to take my kids fishin' too." That's what it's all about, right?
