Actually targeting carp w/ corn. Three rods, a hook with canned sweet corn + split shots up the line. Nothing high-tech lol. 1st spot i get a quick hit but it was a mere stockie rainbow that i gave to another angler. I try and wait 20-30 min between spots. 3rd spot was good.
It was 20 minutes after setting up shop that i see one of my lines lifting up. I grab the rod and it's game on before i even get to tighten the drag. Fish is peeling downstream! Never saw my line get dumped off my reel that fast. After it's one big run i start hauling it back upstream. It was just short runs at that point. It went nuts again after seeing me about to land it. My orange net was too small so had to beach it between my feet. Sloppy photos sorry! About 32 inch based off rod length. No clue on weight.
