| Re: new to fishing I caught a 17-pound common carp in 2008 on a 6-foot, medium-action spinning rod and 8-pound test line in a river full of rocks and sunken trees. It's all a matter of setting your drag correctly and playing the fish so as not to break your line and rod. __________________ 2012 species: 13 All-time species: 65 New species caught in 2012: white sucker, popeye shiner, white shiner |
