RE: Tuesday the 15th
ORIGINAL: Bulzeye I saw a monster carp in there. So big I hesitated before lobbing a shot at her. She took off fast heading straight away from me. Looked about 10 to 12 inches wide. Big, big fish. The bow-wake was enormous in that shallow water, and she made a trail in the muddy bottom that I could actually follow for a ways, but never saw her again. |

That one pic of the 3 fish is from a few days back, also from the DesPlaines, but up by Joliet.
The 2 biggest ones in the large group were 11 and 10 pounds. Actually lost 2 carp out of the bucket when it got too full. They flipped out, and then flipped out. Lost the lid to my bucket out there too, but I'm not sure when. If you see a gray plastic Rubbermaid lid on the shore it's mine, but I think it sunk because I didn't see it anywhere. Eleanor?! We have carp with names now? If she has become a locallegend, I can see why. She surprised the heck out of me. I had been whacking the 3 to 7 pounders pretty good, and then SHE takes off, and it took a second for it to register that I should shoot. The biggest carp I've seen in person. |
