PB Carp!
I was intentionally fly-fishing for carp at a small private lake. After a couple of past unsuccessful trips, I finally got one to hit. Fought the thing for a good 15 minutes. It broke my line as I tried to land it (no net), but I still managed to drag it ashore.
A Personal Best fat 32" carp, I'm guesstimating it weighed a good 16 lbs.
Ain't she a beauty!
I was using an 8wt rod, and was very slowly swimming a Hexagenia Nymph fly.
I stuck with it for about 3 hours before catching this fish. The only other fish I caught during that time was a bass in the 13"-14" range.
