Alamosa, Colorado

Not much to say about this one he put up a good fight but jumped and hit his head or back on a rock on the bank when I was reeling him in, he didn’t get hurt though. He also almost took my rod

I had a few pieces of corn on a hook and let it sit for a few minutes and I hooked him while Damien and Beckett were dealing with another carp

Needless to say this catch was crazy considering that for one I thought he was a piece of algae, and second I caught him on a bare hook while looking for my bread bait. Shea Chavez-Miller (follow him, he’s the goat) saw me reel this pike in without realizing it

I put on a small paddle tail and retrieved at a mediate speed because it was a little cold and I noticed a bunch of pike jumping on the other side of the pond so I threw a cast over their on my KastKing baitcaster and I immediately hooked this little guy

I threw some sweet corn into the water, put some on my hook, and this carp almost immediately went for it. I had to use 10 lb mono line because he kept breaking my 8 lb line.

I threw some sweet corn into the little nook that this carp and one other big one live in and then casted out a size 2 hook with two pieces of corn on it and he immediately took it but broke my 8 lb line so I had to switch to 10 lb mono and that did the job
