I don't know why but the website did not show all the picture, so I created a second post


The fish then released safe and sound to the water

After that about half an hour, another common

Then another one get in line


As about 4:00PM, got me HUGE hit again, took me almost 20 minutes to get him out of the water, probably I casted too far from the bank, and probably he is over 40lbs weight. I ended up having a 45.13lbs common....





Did you notice that the guy behind me, he tried to help me with his net, but it was too small hahahah.




The bad part was, I asked the lady to take me some picture, she ended up taking the picture of the fish, and cut half of my head.... There was only one picture that I could tell that was me
I don't know if I broke the State record, but I really enjoy fishing time.

I got home about 6:00 PM, and stopped by a Chinese restaurant to have dinner, the Restaurant is called Koi Lantern.... The food is not that good, but here is what I like


A good day so far, and I will try to enjoy it as much as possibly can before I'm leaving Austin next week.

Love that first picture! Great way to end a catch and fight.

Thank you... I love your comment

Great job on the monster carp. Would have been a state record if you had some certified scales, I really enjoy the fact that you are catching some great fish without all the "fancy" gear.

Thank you for your comment, I don't have bite alarm, will think to get one, but it consider so fancy to me so I went for the cheaper one, my rod is about $12.00

It works for me anyway. Thank you.....:)

You are catching some amazing fish!
How are you weighing the fish? Do you have a weigh sling?
Using a carps jaw or gill will likely harm the fish...

do you use treble hook. i only ask cause a couple of there mouths look tore up and bleeding..

I used single hook, but when I tried to unhook, he was fighting and that's why it has some blood on the mouth, just a little not that much

How are you weighing it

Put it in the bag, and weight it If I hook in the mouth and weigh it, it will break the fish's mouth, they'll probably die when I let him go.

good night going to bed .catch a bigger one tommorrow

Sure Jesse, I'll try to catch a bigger one than that tomorrow.... hopefully it will not rain.....

Wow, great fish! Grats.

Putting a towel over the eyes can help calm them.

Another awesome session! I look forward to sharing the bank with you sometime sir. Spectacular!

You noticed that also.

Outstanding!

Good luck tomorrow!

Ho
Ly
COW!

You are the man!

wow
good luck again today

OMG - well done, must be using "magic" bait.
Did you manage to land those lumps without using a net ?!?!?!?

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I hereby nominate Viet Carper for president.If he can bust 56lb buff and beyond state record size common in one afternoon I think he might could do something for our economy.

I stopped by and met the man todayHes a very nice guy I personally watched him catch about a 30# common he sure knows how to catch em .

Is that you Billie? It was nice talking to you out there today, we need to get together sometimes..... I have some new photos, will upload tonight.
