Well I went to Log Boom park to catch some carp. For once it wasn't a wind storm and I was stoked about that. The carp were sharking about, even more when I started chumming some corn and hot dog buns. Another guy was fishing with salmon eggs, and we saw 'em eating or stuff. But they were wiley and didn't like that hook. A couple picked it up for a split second but they'd spit it back out.

After a while I tried nightcrawlers, which worked well, I had a couple more suck and spit takes. But it was tough to fish with nightcrawlers, because I kept catching perch and blue gills! When I got real bored I'd fish with a plastic paddle tail worm, and caught some dink bass and a couple big ones. I did manage a large blue gill and a bunch of little ones, and got a couple of really nice perch to fry up.

No pictures of the big one ran out of space on my phone.

I did manage to get the hook set on one BIG carp. As soon as he felt the hook he zoomed around, back and forth along the dock twice and managed to twist the hook out somehow. , which then slid down his back, grabbed him by the motor, which made him even madder, and then there was no stopping him. Eventually the hook came out of his tail, and he kept jumping and rolling for about ten minutes. But the whole thing scared off all the other carp, so I left.

about 30 blue gills and perch I caught, about five dink bass and hooked a giant carp. All in a couple hours. It was a fun afternoon. If bluegill could grow to be as big as a bass, they would fight ten times harder.
