I joined cragio and Jesse today and we are still fishing but I'm so stoaked to catch a new pb a 36 lb grass carp I'll post pics later tonight when I get home. the fish was released unharmed to be caught again someday.



and here is cragio little chunk,

Way to go Chris. Surgery didn't keep you down long.

Best kind of physical therapy there is.

Awesome, Chris.

I agree curt it's not a bad day today althou the wind is high at times.

way to go chris!!!!!!!

Good job Chris!! Glad to see ure back at it.

i may go there tomorrow. I was gonna go today but went skating instead.

What, did Kevin take the pics? Where are they? Congrats although I don't think you should have released it

on my way home now, yea you would of killed even if it was tour pb. I just can't do it I'd rather take a ticket than to kill a fish that's probley older than you and me put together.

but WR does not have much grass to begin with and grassers will ruin a fishery that is not supposed to have them. You could throw a stone and hit someone who would have taken the fish home at WR. You are right, I didnt kill my pb grasser either but in hindsight I should have. Next time I get one I am , unless on a permitted lake.

I understand that totally but IMO I don't think there are very many grasser in there I mean that's only the second one. Jesse said he had one other one and seen one floating, but to each is his own I suposse I just anit gonna kill a fish and if it's under 10lbs I have no problem giving it away. it's the bigger fish is what I wanna see returned back

yeah, like chris said i doubt there are enough in there to do anything, i wouldnt kill it either, who cares. Seems like W/R is doing just fine to me...Awesome catch Chris, and i did manage a 12-13lb carp as i was getting ready to pack up.

that was a nice chunk there. thought forsure that guy was gonna lift your rod up and set the hook lmao.

good job cris . heres the floater we got it out with a crankbait and took a picture of it . this was about 3 yrs ago

ps that particular spot used to be a carp/ buff hot spot but hasnt produced for 2.5 years

talk about luck . when i left at 730 the wind was almost non existant . i dont know about you guys but when its very windly like that it seems i get tired easy lol . tony stayed with my alrms and no telling when he will leave . its really perfect out there now

Great catch Chris, and congrats on your quick recovery.

Hope to see you soon!

thanks brain

I'm not trying to hijack or anything of the sorts, but you said that grasser was old. I doubt the age your laying out there, those fish grow incredibly fast when food is abundant. That is the reason they are a problem. I'm not going to tell you what to do with it, I wouldn't like to kill it and not use it myself.

Congrats Chris

Fantastic fish chris did it fight hard?..and what was the bait

i never said an exact age, i just said probley mine and scotts age together, but yea whos to know the age,but i doubt there are many in there, that is jesse home lake and no one knows it better than him, and as many times as me, and him has fished it this is only the 2nd one. i doubt there is very many in there, and to the looks of it they arnt hurting a thing.

leo i thought it was a lazy buffalo or a big kitty, never even crossed my mind that it would be a huge grasser, and the bait was a home brew of tiger nuts.

Awesome fish!

I wonder if anyone else in the history of the world has ever gotten a foot amputated and caught a 36 lb. fish only a week later lol.

never.most people would feel sorry for themselves but not chris.when do you get your prosthetic.of the subject whats the biggest caught out of ghostie?

goastie sucks for me, lmao. i blank everytime i go there.

27lbs 6oz by Kevin

That I know of, that is...

Someone needs to invite me to Whiterock to teach me carpin'.

next time we have a get toghether come on down . usually we post up here and give the area . theres a few guys that fish closer to your house (poole) that will be very helpful . after you start catching it may be hard to go back to other species lol

Thanks Jesse!

That's a really nice fish!

thank you nick

Yep, there's Kev's 27-something, my Dad caught a 25, and I think Scott has at least one mid-20 from there. I'm not sure of others, but I would bet Brett's gotten a mid-20 there too.

There was an unconfirmed (as in unweighed) fish caught by someone who used to post on the forum that Justin witnessed that may have gone close to 30 if not over. I actually dug up the picture once and checked it out but I can't tell you what search words I used. I do remember it took some digging. It was definitely a good fish!

Great job!!!

jsut drove by and saw richard land a 21.4 and i believe he got a 21.8 earlier ! they seem are hauling

how big was cragos?that place owes me some fish.me and a few others are going next sunday.

Mine was 24#2oz plus countless other lower 20#s

my biggest is only 22.95 that i had WEIGHED . but im not done fishing there

did it lose weight ??? it was 24.8 wasnt it

nope 24-8 was from wr, the 24-2 is from ghostie

You should of took that fish to the meat shop and had 'em cut it up Loozianna style!

Jeff and Chris will get it.

I gotta call my sister, these guys are catching the biggest fish i ever seen! LOL oh man that was funny

Great fish Chris.
I am glad you are getting better.

Those grassers have HUGE tails!
When they decide to fight they can!

My PB from Ghostie (and anywhere else) is only 22-5, unless you count my daughter's 23-9.
