Caught my first mirror while fishing Fork last night. She weighed in at 25 lbs, 8 oz and was one heck of a fish.

Congrats, Fishlady. That's a nice carp--ugly as sin--but nice. BTW, I was at Cabela's the other day and asked about you, but they said you now work at the Fisheries Center. Good for you. I'll have to get down these again one of these days. That's a great place.

Will do. Hey, you probably don't remember, but i owe you a great debt of gratitude. It was you and two of your fellow carpers who turned me on to TFF a few years back. You guys were fishing Marine Creek, and my daughter and I were canoeing there when we spoke to you guys. You mentioned this website and the rest is history.....this is now my favorite website thanks to you and your two friends.
