Giant fish taken.

Post by Reel Addictive »

Hey guys don't know if this is where you would put this post, or if these even interest anyone. Obviously these aren't my success stories.

Just found these as I was quitting for the night. First, I had no idea Carp grew this large:

The next link is one of the coolest fish I have seen in a long time. These are apparently common where Brian is from, but quite the oddity in continental waters.

I think I need to put down the laptop and pick up the tackle box soon.

WOW Nice fish. Across the pond they name those big carp and catch them several times. I agree that other fish IS one of the coolest fish I ever saw.
