went fishing today...

hey

i went fishing today at the same lake as b4 it was nice weather and was all good i cought 19 fish includin roach and tench the biggest tench i cought was 3 1/2 lb witch was pretty good.
we decided to move swim and we continued getting fish when suddenly my float shot across the lake like mad with my rod going every where i thought it was a big tench but i soon found out it wasnt..as i was reeling in it was just pullin line of my spool like mad and then we finally saw the fish come to the surface it was a carp. this lake that i fish is pretty small its got loads of small fish in up to about 6 lb and then its got about 3 massive carp, or ive only ever seen 3 carp at a time on the surface but this lake is only about 100m long and 20 wide and no one ever catches them there... so anyway i was reeling this carp in and wen i saw it properly i discovered it was a common atleast high into double figures but the fish dived a few times and eventually come off i was never expecting this fish so i didnt have a landing net or anything i was so gutted i was so anoid i dont know anyone of has ever cought it u normally see it everytime u go but no one that iv spoke to has cought it i was well p****** of
any way im going back there tommorow with a proper carp rod instead of my float rod and im gona try of the surface with some bread.:)
