Ok, so they we're green carp, but at 11 he's quickly showing promise as a great fisherman. Proud grandfather Boatbuilder took him, my sister, and brother-in-law out to do a little green carp fishing yesterday. He was using a 7' rod, with a Shimano Curado openfaced bait caster reel throwing a spinnerbait and caught 5, including the two really good ones in the photo. The big one weighed over 5lbs, and the other one 3lbs.
