Huge Bighead on the Mississippi
This was in Jeff Lampe's column in the Peoria Journal Star today.
Commercial angler Tim Vice of Oquawka netted a 74.3-pound bighead carp recently on the Mississippi River above Lock and Dam 18.

I think I'd have to tie it off to the front of my canoe
Yeah, even that 26 pounder of mine took me for a bit of a spin (about 20 feet), and then almost brought me me in with him. He flipped real hard just as I got him clear of the water. It's like he knew I was in the worst possible position leaning over the edge.
