2009 carp and other Rough fish pics

[MinnesnowtaWild]

wow, your freaking lucky. those wally divers are great lures for deep-water pike

17" white

That looks like awesome Flathead Cat bait.

[roughfish29]

haha yeah i knew someone would say that.

i'm going to try to start catfishing pretty soon. i know that you can't use bullheads over 7", but is there a size limit on suckers?

[Mudcatman]

Pretty sure suckers for bait should be under 12 inches? Feel free to correct me if I am wrong....

[aanderud]

wow Jake, that's a lot of lures. Is the river there exceptionally low, and that's how you're able to wade out and get what looks to be a couple decade's worth of lures?

That's one thing I learned when I was a kid, you never want to wade around in a river barefoot, too many hooks! The Crow River in hutch was snag-central.

Yes I am pretty sure you are right. I was mostly kidding about using it as bait but I'm sure a big Kitty wouldn't mind it.

you kept them??

why?

report from today:

went out on lake winona equipped only with a super ultralight rod and 2l line. my goal, get a fish of at least a mid teen. the day started horribly, i forgot my cameras memory carp, so i couldnt take any more than 12 pictures. then while wading i dropped my phone in the water. i was [PoorWordUsage]! but with such bad luck with electronics. i had a hunch the fishing would be good. but.... i was not expecting it to be as good as it was!

i ended the day after i dropped my camera in the water. both phone and camera are drying as we speak. pictures to come!

[Float tube guy]

i feel your pain...ben there done that......na but this is a small steam that's just way to thick with carp in certain areas, for example way before i new there where good numbers of walleye in this stream i was catpackin it for 2 miles or so and some parts you would get stuck in a good foot of mud because the carp steired the bottom up so much....don't worry we didn't wast them, my buddy put them in his grandma's garden

[StillwaterAaron]

...don't worry we didn't wast them, my buddy put them in his grandma's garden

That is my favorite reason to kill a fish but I will tell you that walleyes are much better fertilizer and really makes my tomatoes in my garden delicious!

[roughfish29]

^ lol

float tube guy, you should try smoking some! they really aren't that bad!

lol you know i was just kidding about keeping them. i just wanted to see the reaction jake would give me ; ) . truth be told i do have a soft spot for carp....now if it was legal to use them for cutbait then it would be a differnt story.

[roughfish29]

so what DID you do with them

[Lowblazah]

lol you know i was just kidding about keeping them. i just wanted to see the reaction jake would give me ; )

then why did you have them on a stringer if you didnt keep them?

[wildcatcreek]

He put them in someone's grandma's garden for fertilizer.

[Float tube guy]

lol there is a reason why carp don't have a limit

[carpmanjake]

camera and phone are both wrecked... i cant get the pictures.

i know most wont believe me since i dont have pics. but here are the weights

i got an 8

then an 11

then a 13

then a 12

then a 9

then a 15

then a low 20 spooled me, so i put on my abu garcia cardinal

then i got a 17

then a 21

and then a new pb at 25lbs.

the final fish was a 9

all on the super UL and 2 or 4lb test

the guy that helped me land the 25 took pictures with his phone. so i gotta find him and hopefully he can at least email me a pic of that.

i was fishing grounds of lake winona that until yesterday had been untouched by fisherman

And if you kept them, you won't be able to do it again!

Good for you.

You may want to use a heaver rod. With a fish that big on a UL light rod you tend to fight the fish on the reel and the rod is over powered.

Congratulations on making the 25lb mark.

i have plenty of rods. lol. i was just going for them on a super UL. an HT micro master

[carpmanjake]

i went to the now unvirgin grounds on lake winona. the fishing... was nowhere near as good as yesterday.

there was no cloud cover and the fish spooked alot easier. none the less i had a blast with the super UL.

[roughfish29]

i've seen some super ul's at fleet farm.....are they any good?

i think they would be fun to target bass, trout, and of course carp with

the one i have, an HT micro master (7 foot model) is absolutely perfect when sight fishing for carp it casts small jigs like nothing and it stands up to even a 20lb carps brutal run. and they are also pretty sensitive. so as long as you dont horse the fish. you will love the rod

What kind of jig are you throwing? I'm sure others would like to know also.

any jig you will throw for panfish also work for carp. tiny worms, twistertails, tubes. black white yellow and pink are my faves

i also tried turning on my camera today and it worked!!!!!! but half the pictures are gone. but here are the ones that were on it still

spooled!
