First fish 2008
« on: May 17, 2008, 08:26:00 PM »
Went out this morning for a quick fix.  Carp were spawning and splashing till the sun and wind got on the water.  Then all was quiet.  First shot drew a carp scale and the second the fish pulled off.  then I got these guys.

I am going up to northeast Oklahoma this next weekend, hopefully the carp are "in the mood" while I am there.  Congrats on those fish!

Congrats! Nice freakin catch there.  May I ask, what did you do to dispatch the Gar?  The one I shot lived for a while after I shot it. Did you have to bludgeon it?

Cool thanks for the tip.  I picked up a Tball bat at Wal-Mart for $10.  A little longer than the commercially sold "fish bats" and just effective.
