Soooooo Drake's Big Year Contest, got me thinking, it has been years since I fished for anything but trout, striped bass, or fluke. Realizing this, it made sense to use this contest as an excuse to catch some fish that I normally would not even bother with (Shad and herring previous post). I do not plan on winning anything because its not really fair competing again someone who fishing in the tropics but whats its going to hurt. I feel as if I grew up exploring waters with my fishing rod in search of something new to catch.
In light of all this I headed down to my local pond to try and cross a few fish off the list. I was thinking bass and bluegills.
But another old friend showed up.
Koi which are just selectively bred Common Carp where lurking around. Casting toward these things I hooked a massive regular old Carp and lost him in the grass. I then hooked an even bigger white colored carp. I fought him into the night of this city part and lost him because I could not get him over the wall.
So I geared up.
(Although I refused to trade in my ultra light Eagle Claw Glass fly rod I bought for 10 bucks.)
I tied up
Got me a random net man, Earl.
And got me one.
