Fished from about 8:30 til 2, water temp never cracked 43.0. Stuck with the FnF all day, ended up with 4 fish. Started off with a 16" Smallie off a steep bank then moved down the lake a good bit. On my first cast my bobber took off and I got a good hookset. I knew it was big when the drag started screaming. After loosing a big smallie on Boone last week I made sure I was extra careful with this one. She made about 5 or 6 good runs, took maybe 10 minutes until I even saw my bobber. After a few more minutes I had finally wore her out. Once in the boat she was longer than my ruler! 25 inches total and beautifully colored. Don't worry guys, I let her go and she took right off. Great day of fishing.



I wish I had a camera with me but I figure you all have seen plenty of carp in your days. haha
