Gotta love to nail the BEASTS on the lighter set ups.

Makes for an interesting day.

Mustve been a hell of a fight on the light gear, good stuff.

Good Lord! That is a big fish. I can truthfully say I never saw a rod bend so much in fresh water fishing.

 

[ProFishermanJones]

Me either, ive never seen a fish take off like a dolphin either!
thanks for the kind words everyone. always enjoy the feedback from OFF

 

[FishingNoob]

Hey Licensetopin, you caught that beast under a bobber? How far was the bait from the bottom?

 

[FishingNoob]

What where you using as bait LICENSETOPIN? Thanks.

I was fishing a shallow marsh, note the depth from my float to the bulk shot half way down thats how deep the water was. Basically was sight fishing cast ahead or infront of a group of cruising carp and wait for your float to lift up or go flat, sometimes it will drop but not usually. Was using corn bags... :grin:

*SMILES*


4lb mono ... 7ft UL rod, only had about 80 yds of line on the reel.

Went from about 100 yds down from the Old Mill dam ... all the way past Bloor Street Bridge.

Congratulations . That is a great Buffalo fish. A Bigmouth Buffalo I believe. Wow!

Nice carp. Gotta love ultra light setups for big fish. I have caught a couple monsters on ultra lights, but I have lost my fair share as well, as well as an abundance of tackle, but the fight and the story is sure worth it. Here are a couple photos, one of a carp about 23 lbs caught on 6 lbs test and a 19 lbs salmon caught on 4 lbs test. Both monsters were caught on a 5'6 ultra light rod! Yeeeee ha!

Like the stop sign in the background of the first photo :wink: Why was the fish in the first photo bleeding?
