Let the fight begin.  Those fish are awesome fighters especially on ultra light. Nice fish and a super job. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, although the fight was good he mostly fought himself. He wrapped himself around a pylon and about 3-4 minutes I thought it was hung up. Then it came loose and he floated up tired as heck.
I think he fought the pylon more than he fought me lol.
He swam away just fine

I can remember "Aquatic Ash" posted a nice carp that she had caught off of Dunlap a few months back. She said it put up one heck of a fight. You Austin Anglers are nailing some super fish. Thanks for the postings.

Thanks guys.
Ash the sunfishing has been pretty terrible to be honest. I still haven't found the bigger ones this spring and can't even find numbers yet.
I'm sure I'll run into a monster bed soon enough.

Same with me. Last time out some moron jumped off the Barton Springs bridge and almost landed on me.
I can't take the mass crowds of rental canoes and paddleboarders. I'd rather deal with the wakeboarders on Lake Austin

You just never know what you are going to catch while fishing for Sunnies! Nice Carp. Good job on the light tackle.

Top notch angling there. Large powerful fish on ultra-lite set up wow! It takes someone who knows what they are doing to land a fish of this size on that gear. Any carp on any rod set up is amazing to me. Don and his other carp buddies are a breed apart when it comes to landing big fish.
PP, I was told by some of my competition that they were hounded by some big redbreasts up near the Selma Hughes boat launch I did see some pics so I know it wsnt BS. you may try it out. Again what a great job!!!!
