Hey -- another great day with Bethy on the water! We were able to locate some feeding carp and I managed to hook 4, land 2. Both ran out a large amount of line and wore me out immensely! I was so happy to finally catch carp on fly tackle, which is a LOT of fun. I also managed another snakehead as well....he's in the tub again. Hoping to eat some fried NSH once the filet knife recharges. I can't clean a fish, but she says "NSH is nowhere near as nasty as cleaning rabbits" and I'll take her word for it.
Beth hooked a MONSTER, solid black NSH on UL 4-pound mono and he managed to break her off after about 5 minutes. Probably will need some heavier tackle for the next one. She says it's the biggest fish she's every hooked, period.
I hope everyone's Memorial Day was excellent!
I need a shower and some advil.
