My failed attempts at landing grass carp added a great deal of drama to finally getting my hands on one. Just as Barry and Brad describe in Carp on the Fly -- nymphs catch grass carp. It was all about timing and position. Spotting a cruiser and dropping that #12 pheasant tail in just the right spot where carp is making eye contact with fly. This brute was just shy of 30" and there are a couple bigger pigs in there... could there be a 40" in there?
Congrats. It's an accomplishment for sure.
ReplyDeleteWell done sir...awesome fish!
ReplyDeleteCongrats. I expected this was coming soon. Your hard work paid off. Looking forward to seeing the 40 incher.
ReplyDeleteNicely done. Good luck with locating that 40 incher. Nice fish and pics. Tight Lines.
ReplyDeleteAwesome work man. I'm not sure if there is a tougher freshwater fish to catch.
ReplyDeleteVery very cool man!
ReplyDeleteNice work! Be proud! :)
ReplyDeletemy friend randy has the record right now at like 54 pounds from hannah lake near blaortown, caught on a grass fly, couple slivers of green foam tied to hook.
