(MO) MOCarper Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 So.........while I had just set my rigs a couple days ago, I noted some discreet ripples near shore, so I stalked closer and found a single goldfish lazily swimming, so i attempted to catch it. It wasn't afraid and kept along the shoreline, ebbing back and forth with each ripple. i carefully placed my method pack and hair close to where i anticipated the fish to go, and after only a couple minutes, it grabbed the corn (almost as big as it was) and flipped the whole rig onto a shallow rock!. before I could lift the rod, it slipped back into the water, where I easily netted it. Unfortunately, the fish didn't register on the scale. It was a significant capture!- only my third goldfish, and first that wasn't gluten free!!......I carefully released it, but it didn't swim away; it rolled several times, then settled back into the abyss, but later swam away (or was eaten by bluegills ) ...not sure the video comes through...........enjoy your memorial day weekend-thanks to all who have let us fish for carp!!!....

(TN) Cannonball Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) Those goldfish are hard to filet! Are they invasive or introduced? We have a PB, Personal Best, and now we have a PL, Personal Least. Edited May 25, 2019 by (TN) Cannonball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
