Cody's Carp

August 16, 2011 By In-Fisherman

Bob Blickenderfer

Massillon Ohio

Species: Carp (Common or Grass)

Date Caught: 06/11/2011

Kept / Released: Released

Region of Catch: Region 1

Length: 23"

Weight: 7 lb

The day before on this small stream I had hauled in a 21" carp. This one was a 23" carp caught by my grandson. We were on a steep bank and I missed getting it in the net a couple times and it kept running. Cody was laughing as he fought it and said he was getting worn out.After he hauled it in, he said he could not catch any more carp that day because his arms were too tired.

I'm guessing at the weight using an online fish calculator as we had no scale with us.

Shimano's NEW ArmaJoint 1900SS Adds Depth Control During Retrieve

The new version of Shimano's jointed swimbait provides swimbait anglers with a slow-sinking model that attains a working depth of your choosing. An internal magnet forces the body to fold into an aerodynamic shape to reduce the chances of the lure spinning during the cast and get the most out of casting distance. Once the lure hits the water, the body reengages with the internal magnet to create smooth and natural swimming action that big fish of all species will find hard to resist. Shimano's proprietary Flash Boost technology emits an attention-grabbing flash during the retrieve—and on the pause thanks to a suspended reflective foil on internal micro springs to mimic the flashing behavior of an injured baitfish.
