Great post. If you are looking for big ones, as an alternative, try fishing with range cubes as bait.

Thanks. I have seen your video on drilling and using range cubes. Been thinking of trying it out. Also, I really want to catch a buffalo.

That 18lb fish was on a heavier rod, and took 20 mins to get on shore. The 14lber I caught on a grocery store zebco 404/5ft rod that my son picked up. That took a while too.

On a side note I once captured a smallmouth buffalo with a v shaped injury on its back with several pounds of flesh missing(about the size of a decent capture in many forums here) otherwise it seemed to be a good fighter and acted healthy. Carp and buff can be resilient.
