Decided to go back to my lake today & catch another mess of bluegills on my ultralite tackle with some more of the Cicada. They are all over my yard so it only took a few minutes to catch the bait. I had been fishing for about an hour when this monster carp grabbed the Cicada & went down town big time. After about a 20 min. fight I was finally able to land him. 33 lbs. 12 ozs. 46" long on 6 lb. test. What a fight.
Now that is alot of fun on 6# test. Congrats Ricky.
TRKYHTR

Nice grass carp man!
I'll bet that was some good eating right there. He'd season up a cedar plank just right. ;D
like i sai your a fish catching machine
Ricky,
That's a grass carp. A nice one, too. I caught one of them back in the early 90's that was 40lbs and 43" long on a Cotton Cordell Rattlin Spot fishing for bass. I snagged him in the tail. Took me 48 min to land him on 10lb test line. I've caught a 25.5lb carp and another around 22lbs and 17lbs and 14lbs over the years doing the same thing. And I'm probably leaving out a few. I love catching them. The ones I have landed I either hooked in the tail or in the top dorsal fin.
That's a good one. Congrats on the catch.
Congrats. I bet it was a blast..
Nice :you_rock:
What brand wire was you using? That was some tough stuff.....
