Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Hit the ponds today with a P&G to no avail.  Then went back to the house and rigged up a silver buddy.  Pounded Pavilion with it for over an hour only to get one BG.  Decided to make one last cast.  About 3 jigs back and WHAM .  Knew I had snagged one of those grass carp.  Only had 6-lb test .  After about 40 minutes of trying to get line back in......it was tired.  A lady walked up just as I was getting it out of the water and she was kind enough to take a pic on my phone.  Could hardly pick it up and estimated it to be 40-45 lbs......pic does not show how thick the shoulders were....about 7-8"  Returned to the water to be snagged again .  Oh yeah......that is my blood from the sharp gill plate
