That's a great fish Jeff -- I'd love to catch one.

Sweet! Nice fish, Jeff!On Wed, May 27, 2015 at 11:29 AM, Jeffrey Silvan <jeffre...@gmail.com> wrote:You all might remember a post from last year where I caught a grass carp out of my parents' backyard pond. Well, I visited over the long weekend and managed another even bigger one. This one measured out at 37 inches. I'd estimate 30 lbs, maybe a few more. Online weight estimators have put it anywhere from 29 - 45 lbs, so I think I'm pretty dead on in my "feel-in-the-hand" estimate. I managed to get this one on a small nymph slow stripped right in front of the nose of a cruising fish. I wasn't sure at first if I foul hooked it or if it ate, but once I got it in the net, it had a textbook corner of the mouth hooking. I had two or three more that I had eat, but couldn't get good connection on the hook set.--Most of you know I have a weird obsession with carp by now. For those interested, I started a blog a few months ago about my hunt for carp in general. Check it out at districtcarp.blogspot.com. I'm focusing it only on my carp fishing in DC, but I'm adding a post or two about when I go after them elsewhere, too.
