After the cool weather and the rains, the carp have postponed their spawning. If we get some nice, hot days in a row, it could be back on, so I like to keep my eye on the lake. I stopped by this evening, and for the most part, not much was going on. However, a nice, large male passed by me just before I left.
He paused in some debris, and gave me time for a head shot. I nailed him good, and I bet we get three or perhaps even four pint jars of canned carp meat off of this one. I'd got some fillets waiting in the fridge anyway, so I'll add him to the pile. This is the biggest carp so far this year for me, but I hope for even larger. Check out the photos, and enjoy!
