You use some crazy rigs over there. "hair rigged boilies" and shit like that. Cool stuff... |
that would be fun as heck on a long rod!
the crazy part about my fight with this fish is he ran under the dock from the beach on otherside and i had to pass the rod under the dock and my roomate cupped the line on the other side! There was a chance id never see the rod again

...luckily the only damage was a wet drag that prooved annoying to finish the fight!
Ive seen on youtube and other sights that carp are pretty big time in certain parts of the world...sad its just considered a total garbage fish here...maybe cuz they are far from pretty!
