New PB on a swimbait

[bluebasser86]

Fished my buddy Jon's Uncles ponds in today. I was messing with my new 6" S Waver and had caught a dink and missed a few others at the big pond so we decided to fish the little ponds in the back yard. When we got to them there was a few big grass carp cruising the surface. Just jokingly I cast my S Waver in front of one like I was trying to get him to bite. I was more than a little surprised when a different carp shot off the bottom and T boned my bait! The pond is tiny so it didn't have anywhere to go but even with my heavy swimbait rod and line it still took a long time to wear her out and even then I had no idea how I was going to land her with no net. I had to get in about knee deep and steered her head towards the bank and then pushed her up onto the bank. We didn't want to risk killing her and our scales were a long walk to the truck so we snapped a picture and put her back.

Nice job anyway! Those fish are freight trains!

I was using 30lb Silver Thread on a 7' 10" H/F Bass Pro Extreme rod with a 300E Curado.
