My son LT(Lil Tumater)and I started fishing for carp last june.Our first 4 trips were to Ladybird lake didn't even produce a nibble.We have never caught a fish there so it was our new years resolution to catch a fish on LBL.We had a chance to meet the Viet Carper at LBL tuesday.I think most know that the Viet Carper has had an incredible week on LBL.Catching many massive commons and buffalo.We were eager to see "the legend" in action.We arrive at the lake around noon and he calmly explained how he had a triple on that morning and landed all 3 without a net.I believe the largest was over 26lbs.We hung out a while and watched him and another group catch the 2 smallest commons I've ever seen.They were about a pound each.I explained to him that the tumaters were basicly fish repellant on LBL and we had brought bad luck.He replied that we should set up and fish and guaranteed us that we would catch a nice fish.Having not caught any fish anywhere since October we were still excited to try.We broke out the gear was fighing by about 1:00pm.The action was slow for a couple of hours.Noone seemed to be getting any bites.Then we heard the sweet addicting sound of an alarm sounding off. Nice fish on!It was first fish on for LT since October of last year and it was a very nice 19lb.common.We weighed it on our digital scales that we got on amazon for about $8 shipped to our door.The legend (Viet Carper)also weighed the fish on his Cabella's digital scale he had been using that week.One showed 19lbs the other about 19lbs 2ounces.Then while I was rebaiting another alarm goes off with a run.This one was a very nice 35lb buffalo.Again we weighed the fish on both scales and again there was only about 2ounces diffence.The rest of the day was slow and we spent time tring to ride LT's new uniclycle and debating who the cheapest carp fisherman in texas was, the tumaters or the Viet Carper. I would tell how we caught massive fish on cheap rod and reel.He would counter with catching more massive fish on cheaper rod and reel.The Viet Carper was the King of cheap. It was good for some laughs and was a great day.We really want to thank the Viet Carper for letting us fish with him.We also had a chance to meet another legend, Keith Melrose stopped by and what a pleasure it was to meet him.

Nice work guys

Sweetness!

Ted you have a PM. and thanks guys

Viet Carper you have a PM the weigh sling is now $9.99 shipped to your door!

Nice Buff there Little Mater. Did VC tell you that I pulled a 36 buff from that same spot around 9 monday morn in the cold?

Yes he did congratulations! He said he garuanteed us a nice fish because you prebaited the spot really well for us! Does the buff look familiar?This one had black eyes.LOL He mayhave been 35lb 2ouces.Plus we subtracted 4ounces for my weigh sling,but my weigh sling really weighs probably less.

Ok Looks like fun, Im down with trying it here in west texas we got some good lakes for those, heres my question what were you guys using fo bait, I'd like to make some homeade dough balls and try it, thats is if thats top secret, hush, hush say no more, bait, I understand.

It was my pleasure to fish with you yesterday. I got back to Dallas today, safe and sound. I hope I will be back there some days, thinking about Spring break

Take care,

Joser, carp will eat lots of things. Your dough ball will likely work, so will bread, corn, maize, boilies, and almost anything else.


Good luck over there!

Nice fish!!! You kill me saying legend lmao

Congrats on a great session guys.

nice fish fellas!

OUTSTANDING!

Great Outing with some very nice Fish! Good job.

nice fish tumater i look like a amature compared to you guys

Christian you have to fish with us this year.Your are going to hammer some pb's.Thanks everbody but I think everyone knows those were Viet Carpers fish.He unselfishly used his special powers to will those fish on our hook.We had blanked 5 straight times in november and december and within 2 hours of fishing with VC BAM! fish on.Definately fish forces at work.

He was joking mate, don't take it seriously

I'm pretty sure everybody knows I'm just kidding around VC, but wait NO! your DEFINITELY the Man, the legend!hehe
