Lip hooked 99% of the time but deep hooked 1% regardless the length or diameter. Many times I would cast back through the missed strike area and the fish would strike again and get caught. Amazing how many fish were caught in 3' of water on large flats from midday until 5 pm. Having caught over 100 fish in two trips tells me the anglers that frequently fish there don't have a clue about using small finesse lures and/ or don't use sonar. Many sunfish were on spawn beds left by bass. Looked like a group of craters on the moon.

Correction: someone informed me that the carp was not a carp but a sucker. Great fight nonetheless. Good thing I had the net. Would have cut the line rather than stick my thumb in that mouth! Ugh!
