Few Catches from Weekend

Few Catches from Weekend - 05/15/19 02:07 PM

Few catches from the weekend at a pond nearby. Also landed a small bullhead that isn’t pictured below. Can someone confirm if the fish pictured last is a carp or buffalo? I think it’s a carp but the coloration seems different? No big fish but I saw some larger ones splashing around a bank to the right of where I was fishing but it was unreachable for me (guess that’s where having a lengthy carp rod would have been beneficial!).

All caught on a hair rig, yellow and citrus green Korda fake corn worked best.

My PB common is only 20 lbs which I caught back in an NJ river last spring .. hoping to top that this year!

Yepper the last is a carp. Quick way to tell is that carp have barbels and buffs do not. Also buffs have black eyes. Good job on the catches.

Caught this guy yesterday morning, weighed just under 6 lbs. The amount of fight in these fish always amazes me!

Nice one! The little guys always put up a scrap, I have a love/hate relationship with their tendency to go in circles just outside the reach of your net nuts

Caught this 10.5 lb’er this morning after three channel cats. Bite only seemed to turn on after I started applying Korda Goo on my hookbait!
