[QUOTE="Master Carper, post: 4265058, member: 15527"] My youngest daughter and I went fishing at Kaw Lake yesterday and caught a total of 15 stripers and hybrids. Nothing to brag about, but fun nonetheless! We took two flies that I tied the night before, and they were the only flies they would hit. [ATTACH type="full"]478693[/ATTACH] Put a couple of other flies together, and spotted a couple of tailing carp, cast to the biggest one with a drag and drop, she hit and all heck broke loose! In less than 20 seconds after the take, I was into my backing and I couldn't slow her down. 18 minutes later, my 10 lb. fluorocarbon tippet broke, I almost fell out of the boat, the carp made one last jump and it was all over as quick as it started. I have caught a carp in the 20 to 30 pound range in my time, and I have always been able to turn a carp, but not this one. I won't even guess as to it's size, but I have to say that it is definitely one of the BETTER carp that I have had on the end of my line! And the fly used - [ATTACH type="full"]478698[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
