My buddy caught a huge Gaspergoo Tuesday in like 3ft of water flipping a 3/4oz jig in a bush. We thought he had a 10lbr and he did just wasn't the right species. LMAO

Yea, one time I was fishing a crankbait deep at choke canyon and hooked into a monster. It was scrapping hard and my dad was running around the boat yelling "sharelunker, you got a sharelunker!"

Anyways, when I finally got it to the top, we saw that it was like a 10 lb goo and my dad freaked out and cut my line. I was mad because it was a good crankbait and I wanted it back, I asked him why he cut the line and he said, " I didnt want that ugly monster in my boat!" Pretty funny!

Remind me never to go fishing with your dad.....Unless we use HIS tackle. lol

You dont know the half of it!(lol) I am glad I have him though!

carp are serious fighters that dont get the respect they deserve. Had you put a few kernels of sweet corn on a very small single hook, you likely would have caught tons of them.

However, if they were spawning, then you would not have had any luck.

Could have been gar as well. I have seen the gar school up and demolish fish in the backs of coves on that lake. It sounded like a big gator had caught a deer and was thrashing around. Never seen it anywhere else, I guess there is a huge population of gar on Choke. My guess would be carp or gar.

There is a lot of gar on choke, my brother lives right by choke canyon lodge and fished sunday, he did metion to me he saw tons of carp and buffalo on surface around caliham and mason point. He also saw a few but not as many in kitchen, he caught several small bass and 2 that went 4 1/2 and 5.

we usually see them year round out there if you get way back in coves and especially around the real muddy bottom parts of the lake, if you ever wanna hell of a fight mix bigred and bran flakes together and make little balls out of it fish on bottom like for catfish and they will tear it up, fun if nothing else is biting

Yessir!
