Had a very interesting half hour of fishing today. Went down on my lunch to Pump House just outside of Burbank WA. Had two fish on and one landed. The one I landed was very fun! Felt a bump and set the hook. Line started to peel and I thought I had a monster small mouth bass on. Only 6lb test so played it slow and finally got it close to shore, brown flash and thought it was at least a 6lb smally. Then it got about 10 feet from shore and saw it was a CARP!!! Not only was it a carp but I hooked it through the TAIL!!! No wonder it fought so well. Oh well first fish of the year was at least a great fight!!
