I hit the puddles this morning looking for cats and casting for bass. Not a single hit...
I switched up to Bluegill but couldn't find one big enough to take the hook. I kept seeing a huge wake and casting the bass gear at it but it never even turned. Then it jumped... BIG BOY carp! Probably 30 pounds!
I rerig and grab a can of corn out of my catfish box that expired in 2019. Opened it and it still smelled like a new can of corn. I cast out and waited...
Then the rod doubled over! I'm on!
Unfortunately it was no where near the size of the one I saw jump, but had some perty lips. LOL

That was it. Headed home and grabbed some c*cktails. Wife quit drinking, so now everytime I grab a drink and stay in the garage, she gets mad at me.
Oh well...
I think it's tuna time tomorrow. I spent all day applying for jobs and had a phone interview. I would be stoked, but they came back $30K less than what I was making, so not sure I want that gig.
Until next puddle time!
You've been on a good variety binge lately. Good luck tomorrow!
Wow! A 30 lb carp.
Must have been massive.
How big was the one you caught?
