This one and all my others are simply lipped and scooped up with the other hand. Hard with a mid 30, I know, but not that hard. Nice vid. Much harder to land them on a tip up. I'll have a video this winter of it.

Awesome Scott! You never cease to amaze me!

Great report and some very nice catches.

Thanks Dave, BTW, that is a real nice "end of the year" R. I.video you posted. Great group of CAG members in Rhode Island!

Congrats, Dan, Adam, and Darren. Well done!--Frank

Thanks Frank. I haven't been able to make any of the Joliet sessions on account of back problems but no doubt we will be seeing you at the Chicago River some time soon. Do call so we can hook up

Very nice.

Thanks much Bill. I really enjoyed your FFF write up on Fulton, NY. Getting together with friends, fishing and welcoming the New Year was awesome!

Awesome start of the year !!!

Thanks Teo, I know we will be seeing you soon

NICE! Catch fish on New Year Day is great day!

Thanks John. I am still looking forward to meeting you.

No, didn't get out on Sunday but did check out a few spots on the River on Saturday. Despite it being a beautiful, warm sunny morning, I only found 2 carpers. They were at one of the very well known secret spots and only had two small fish.

Other than Tracy, I didn't see anyone else on Sunday. I did helped him land a 21Lber though.

Your sore arm must have been a factor in you not coming out because we have fished the FFF together in much nastier weather Get Well Soon!!

Nice write up. Looks like a nice group and a great time

There are antiseptics sold by carp fishing vendors that are to be applied to the hook damage in the mouth of the fish, but I don't know if any would help for torn scales.

I can only speak as an avid aquarium hobbiest...

Many aquarium keepers add one tablespoon of aquarium salt per five gallons of water. This is suppose to replace minerals in the water and promote the protective slime coat on the fish.

A good medication for fish with open wounds is API's Melafix.

BUT, I would just keep an eye on it, it may be alright if left alone. Just treat any developments with the appropriate medications. Here is a good site for aquarium fish maladies: http://www.fishyportal.com/

You may also want to keep an eye on which fish is becoming aggressive/territorial. They may either be outgrowing the tank or preparing to spawn.

There are also many koi keeper forums out there that may be more helpful.

Good luck!

Hey Jerome, you should have a prize for non-fishing wives who show up in nasty weather like this.

Good idea for a new category Paul! I know my wife would never be in the running

BTW, we were looking forward to seeing you that morning. Did you ever make it out?

Great report!

Thank you much Captain!

A few of us got together to bring in the New Year at our local Chicago River swim. Water temperature 46 degrees.

Although there were lots of winds, we were fairly protected and have experienced a lot worse weather. Three of us caught a total of nine carp and one catfish.

The fish ranged in size from 8Lbs 8oz to 22Lbs 4oz. Surprisingly, this "over fished swim" gave up a total of three twenty+'s on New Years day and gave us more to celebrate!
