The weather was so awesome today so I decided to start fishing at 9AM. I got there at 9:00 AM, and get all set up. It did not take that long since I did not use the bite alarm, just the regular rods and reels.

About 9:15AM, I got a first run, and that was a baby carp about 6-7 lbs. It seemed a good day so far since I got the first run just in 15 minutes. Here is the first caught.


Then I had to wait for about an hour or so, got me a second run, this time is about 11-12 lbs carpa... she is a beauty.



I could not catch any more fish for the next one and a half hour. I started taking some pictures around, it was nice day and everything looked so pretty. Here is the rods and reels that I was fishing this morning


About 3:00 PM, something hit my line, pick it up and I felt it so heavy. That was a fat carp lady, she weight about 27-29 lbs (in my opinions, but I'm not sure because I did not have scale with me). There she is



As I was getting rid of the hook and taking some photos, got me another hit from another pole. That was a big hit as well and I could feel it when I reel it in. As I mentioned earlier that this was my lucky day, and look what I got? A big mirror, she's so beautiful. I guess this one was about 15 lbs or less.
Here are some photo of the mirror





When the darkness approach, there was no more bite, and I pack and got back home about 5:15PM. It was a very nice day and I could not expect any more than that.

I'll be here for 5 more days, will sure do some more fishing over here. Come join me if you can, there would be lots of fun.

Again, I just estimated all the weights of the fish, I have no scale with me... smile
