I went to carbon canyon regional park to do some carp fishing, i have never caught a carp before so i figured go to the closest lake to my house. It was a good idea, i caugh about 15 carp in two hours. they werent real big, maybe about a pound. Then i got a light tap on my line, so i think yippee another carp, but it was followed by my pole doubling over, flying over a park bench, they being grabbed by me right before it hit the water. With my 4lb stren line and my trout pole , i reeled in a fish i thought was a monster carp, it never jumped. When i got it to show i realized it was a easy 7lb largemouth. Caught it on corn bread mix of all things. I have a theory though, i think a carp got hooked and a bass saw iot stuggle for a second while i was getting to my pole, and in that time he ate the carp somehow getting a tiny circle hook stuck perfectly in his mouth. Anyways it was cool the park rangers were right next to me and cheered me as i fought the fish. I love this lake , good fishin' and its only five minutes from my house.
