Carps? Cats?

[KBFISHING]

If I don't have time to do a big fishing trip, I usually go to Lake Creighton in Middlesex because it is not far. It is a small lake with dam at the end. I usually fish by the dam because I haven't had much luck at the top. I mainly catch sunnies and sometimes bass. But I've started to see these huge fish leap out the water right in front of me. I try everything on them, worms, minnows, lures, power bait. I even hooked on a sunny but no luck. After seeing them more and more often and asking other fish men in the area, I've found out that they are either cats and carps. I personally believe for them to be carps because i see no whiskers and i found a dead one on shore. i really catch these guys because it would cool to have spot close to me that holds monsters rather than just sunnies.
