I'm not much of a carp fisherman, but i fouled hooked this monster on a slab and thought it would be pretty cool to actually get to post something in this section.

Very nice buffalo! 45lbs huh, sweet! It's got that same blimp-shape that a lot of the buffs from Fork and the other lakes in the area have.

Man, I haven't fished T-wok in a while. That makes me wanna get back out there. Sure looks low!

Congrats!

Nice catch!

Some actually catch them IN THE MOUTH on slabs; they also follow the shad and pick them up as they drift down in the water column after being injured by whites, stripers, and other predators...

Greentumater is correct. Matt we released a lake record Buffalo. I'm sure you would have liked to get your name in the record books but you did the right thing to let that beast live. bow_down


Here is the current lake record...

Rod & Reel
Species Weight Length Date Angler Bait or Lure
Buffalo, Smallmouth 39.00 39.13 Mar 17, 2008 Cody France

Congrats on a great catch! cheers
