When I hooked that little carp , I had about 5 other fishermen rush over because of the scream my reel was giving out! They thought I had hooked Billy Big Mouth! Turned out to be a little Carp with a big heart



But Pike fishing is the best.... and it's not as specialized as you'd think....and it's a more active than the long dull Carp sessions....

I've got 3 female Sunk#1 plants a few days into 12/12 ,when their tits get big...I'm going fishing
