Title: Guess what this is
Post by: Spike on July 06, 2011, 06:38:29 PM
My dad took me and my friend, Colin, fishing in a stream today. Here are some pictures that my dad took when I was fighting a fish. Take a look and see if you can guess what it is.


Here I'm hooked up

Here I'm fighting him

Here I handed off the rod to my friend and went in to get him.

I'm not going to show any more because it will be too obvious so see if you can guess it right.

I want to say a Smallmouth bass, but it dont look like there's much depth or current right there.   :wo:

Actually I'm going to go with Smallmouth. It looks like there's a few deeper spots and I'm seeing rocks and stuff under the water. :eyebrownod:
A Smallmouth Bass...final answer.

My guess would be a turtle of some sort? :confused:

This is going to sound funny but I would say the 6 pound rock guess was the closest.  The fish was about 6 to 7 pounds.  :nofgr: :laf: :laf:

It was a carp and we caught two of them and a ton of sunnies. I wish it was a smallmouth.

Very nice Mirror Carp!!  Some folks consider them trophies, as they aren't as prevalent as common carp.  I like catching carp as well, as they sure do like to battle.

Thanks for the comments. I knew it was different from a regular carp, but I didn't know there was anything called a mirror carp. Oh, and my uncle gave me the hat.  :yoyo:
