That is a really cool story.....when I go down to my favourite river to fish, 90% of the time I go to the same section of river because it always produces well for me, and every once in a while, while wading from spot to spot I'll scare these monster fish. Sometimes, they scare the crap out of me. I've always assumed that they're carp, but never actually gotten a visual. Whatever they are, they're huge, and this is in about two feet of water, so you can see which way they're swimming after I scare them. I always walk super slow, so sometimes they'll swim off 2 ft from my legs, with a huge swirl in the water and a massive cloud of mud. Pretty cool, don't know what else they'd be besides carp, bc of their size.
