I now understand the term "poor man's bonefish." I hooked my first grass carp today on my ultra light spinning rod with 6lb. test. Thought I had it three times but it splashed me and took another run. It took pobly 6-9 runs with my drag as tight as I could risk witch is pretty tight. Finaly got it in and was trying to figure out how on earth to grab it when I pulled to much on the line in my hand. Broke off at the swivel. So some where in one of my local lakes is a grass carp between 7-10lbs. with a bright green bobber trailing from its mouth.
