    Im going to move the thread to the bucket
    but before I do that I wanted to say

    Congratulations that is an awesome fish - my PB for grass carp is only 14lb so to see this beast at over twice the size, is fantastic

    gotta ask, WTH did you catch it with? I've caught carp with marshmallows on a small treble before if nothing else is biting it's actually pretty fun

    hahaha yeah i figured you would move it. i just figured it would be funny! and yeah this was a monster!!! i caught it on bread! i fish with bread 24/7. i use 30lb line. this was my 3rd huge one in a year and a half! sorry i havent responded much i have been out of town! and yeah i was an amazing fight! Grass carp, bass, striper, walleye, and catfish are what i like to catch the most cause thats what is around kansas. i love sharing all my fishing photos and stories! so i will probably start a thread soon!!!! so you all better start finding them BS stories that we like to hear and start gettin your photos!!
