Fire Tiger Carp

Last Thursday I was pulling cranks at Okatibbee when I got hung. I quickly put the reel in free spool and cranked my other poles in. When I started back after my Bandit, I felt a tug on the line and knew then that the stump was swimming. I thought I had a big flathead catfish on because all I could do was follow him around and try to tire him out. After 30 min. or so, I finally got a look at his tail and discovered it was a huge carp. He was snagged just ahead of the tail and I finally got him to the boat and got my Fire Tiger back.

Nice one there. I've had them up to 17 pounds on the rez before pulling cranks. Nothing you can do but stop.

Never seen one caught by the tail before. I bet your glad you were using good line. At least you got your crankbait back.

that thing could definitely make you think you were hung up.

Congrats.....you went from dinkmaster to carpmaster......maybe Steve won't pick on you too much about it. :)

We an asian carp by the tail on an oxbow, took us 30 mins to land the dude hooked almost exactly like that one... One heck of a fight

Nope I'm too lazy to run the boat so I guess we need to keep him captain. I like doing nothing but catching fish, if I can keep my fingers out of the way, we need to get back out so I can take back my dinkmaster crown.

I have to admit it....I misread the title and was expecting another Blue Paper Towel story.

Sure can tell how lowdown your mind is, join the good guys once in a while. But don't get mad and go away as I enjoy most of your stuff.

It's actually DD's fault Steve. I been runnin' with a bad crowd lately. If it tweren't for him and Minner and Triton, I'd be nothing but sweetness and light. Honest.

I'll give them someone else to talk about. About 10 or so years ago while holding a jig pole in both hands down close to the dam I got a hit and set the hook and about a hour later pulled this 60 lb blue cat up to the surface hooked in the tail. I wanted to throw it back but my BIL wanted to keep it so we took it to the game warden office and weighted it on the deer scales at 60 lbs. 11' BNM jig pole and 8 lb test line, don't ever want to do that again.
