LARA ACCIDENTLY FOUL HOOKED A 3.5 FOOT / 20 - 30 POUND CARP IN THE TAIL . SAME SPOT AS YOU DID . SHE FOUGHT IT FOR ABOUT 3 MIN AND DECIDED TO LET ME TRY AFTER SHE WORE OUT QUICKLY , I FOUGHT IT FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND THE FISH NEVER STOPPED PULLING (SUPER STRONG). I WASN'T ABLE TO LAND IT AFTER A HARD FIGHT . SHE FINALLY RIPPED HER TAIL FREE AFTER LIL ANTHONY FROM PSB FISHINGTEAM TRIED TO GET IT , SHE WAS TOO HUGE AND TOO STRONG , SHE KEPT PULLING AND TRASHING AROUND . MY UGLY STICK ROD , ABU GARCIA REEL AND 12 LBS TRILENE BIG GAME LINE HELD UP LIKE A CHAMP EVERYTHING WAS CAUGHT ON A RAT-L-TRAP TODAY , ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT COLORS BUT ALL WITH A LIL CHARTRUESE IN IT .

Danny, nice day all around man. I've got a heavy rod w/ I think some 17# test mono on it. Think I'll have to rig it up w/ some 30# braid and bring some of those bottom lovers some dinner.....were all those fish and the lower lake?

Man, that is a great day of fishing for sure. I bet that carp pulled like crazy. I will be glad when they turn on here. Thanks for the pics and report.

I am glad Dannyboy doesn`t have a kayak.
I do not want that man in the tournament.

He is on FIYAH !

Sounds like he's got a canoe from the Lake Raleigh post... Slap a few rolls of duct tape across the top and he'd count...

(The tournament lets canoers in... but not at Durant)

It was between Durant and Hasentree...and I guess Durant was the right choice
15 fish at Durant??? Awesome day Danny
I caught 9 bass and most of them were really small
Good looking fish

I was working this am, I had my poles in the car and noticed I was on Durant Rd. I remembered reading this post yesterday and began looking for this park. Where is it? I ended up at Honeycutt park? No lake. Please advise.

nice fish BTW.
