    Taking The Old Man Out Fishing

    Awesome. Congrats on a great trip. I know all about having everyone else beat my PB. I have 3 people caught bigger fish on MY geear that I set the hook for and handed off that would have beat my PB of 26#, including a 31 pounder my good friend Mark caught. I guess I am generous to a fault! lol

    Best Session Ever

    Headed to Medina with my Dad and good friend James to fish at my dad's boat slip. usually we fish for hybrids and cat, but this time I had him pre-bait for 2 days with goat cubes. If anyone has fished a slip, you know the hazards associated therein...cables and snags.

    Not long after I had lines wet, I had a hard pull (vertical fishing) and it pulled me right into a snag and broke me off.

    So anyway, within a few hours after getting dark, there were several sandies swimming around our lights in the water. There of course we feasting on the smaller fish attracted to the light. I just happened to have my UL and over the course of the weekend probably caught 100 sandies. We kept a few for the fish fry as well as a few nice hybrids.

    Here is a nice hybrid my buddy James caught...

    Later, the carp started biting. We caught 3 the first night. 2 of them on chicken liver and one on maize. Check out the purdy muddler!!!

    The next night the carp went absolutly NUTS. It was only after catching a few more on chicken liver did I decide to change up the bait for the carp. All I need to do was add bread balled up on my lil hook and BOOM! One carp after another for 5 solid hours.

    Funny story first though. There is a cable that runs right through the good spot on the slip about 5 feet down. Medina is a clean water lake and it is easily visible. Well, James managed to knock my rod off into the water and like a miracle it landed on the cable and actually BALANCED there for a moment. That was all I needed and I took a dive in to save my rod and reel. That was my only dry shirt though and I had to show off my gut the rest of the night. Sorry about the skin photos.

    DING DING DING!!!! My first FSM!!!!!!!!!!!!

    James with the biggest fish less than a pound off the lake record at 11 pounds. The scale was a cheapy as my buddy Mark still has mine.

    It seems the carp here have big heads and little, long, skinny bodies. There are tons of them though.

    Awesome time. I probably caught 20 carp Saturday night and early Sunday morn. Heck, I fished until the sun came up.
