First Grass Carp...FINALLY!
I'm still giddy! I finally did it! Caught a Grass Carp on my fly rod!
I feel I may need to apologize for all the pictures...
Now, here's the story:
Jenni, my new fly-fishing protege, had hooked into a big SOMETHING about 5 minutes before this...it fought for a minute or two...she even got the fish right in front of us, but we never did get a look at it before it broke the line. I tied on a new fly and gave it a couple tosses at some visible fish.
I didn't see the take, but my line started moving away from me, so I set the hook. YES!!
Fortuitously, Jenni's mom Julie was there with us, and started snapping pictures and videos!
Here's an early look at the beast:
