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.

Thats great John!That's not out of the question for a 7lb bass to eat a carp.In a lake that size you eat what you can.That's cool though,glad you landed him!

Pyramid lake a friend of mine caught a nice smallmouth on a dead chovie. The corn meal could have moved just the right way to get a reaction bite

a CHOVIE IS A LOT DIFFERENT THAN A BALL OF CORNBREAD, IT DOESNT LOOK LIKE A FISH AND DOESNT SMELL LIKE A FISH

Really...Never would have guessed that.

Also all caps means you're yelling...It's considered rude

all caps means i had dumb luck, NOT A FISH EATING A FISH

a smallie biting a fish, doesnt seem too unordinary, and dont cloud up my post with trivial nonsense like you do this site

Look, I'm not really sure why you feel the need to get all psycho...But Bass are not known to eat A) Dead Bait or B) Corn Meal.

I was just adding a "possible" suggestion...It could have been a number of things at the hook end of your line that caused the bass to bite.

By the way, nice job landing a 7 lb bass on 4lb test.
