trav Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 You hook into a monster fish, and see that its a damn carp when you get it to the bank? This think went 26.4 lbs with the tail still touching the dock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaswimbaiter Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Holy carp that's a big un! I bet that was quite a battle, You were probably thinking that was "the one". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trav Posted March 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Yeah I honestly thought I had the next state record. i had the drag all the way cranked up on the Luna 300 and this thing still tore out line. The LDC XH handled it with ease though. I was kinda expecting my second Hudd fish would be a bass though...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving your LDC handle design!! What handle length is that by the way? Thanks. There were 3 other guys there looking at me weird when I hooked it. It looked like a damn shark making a wake in the water. I get that a lot about the handle. Its 15 inches from reel seat to the butt of the rod.

Yeah I honestly wish carp were more agressive as they are one of the best fighters out there. Congrats on the big fish Trav! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
