Well now I've seen it all.
Clay caught a 5 1/2 pound
carp on a fly. We were
enjoying 3 hours of non stop
peacock bass action, when
Clay yelled and set the hook
on what he just knew was the
largest peacock bass ever to
come out of Lake Wilson. It
was wild, this fish was
stripping line from the reel
and Clay is trying to head
the boat to deeper water.
Clay had the wireless remote
for the electric motor, so
all I could do was shoot
pictures and shout
encouragement. The carp
stayed deep and never
jumped, so we still figured
it was a big tuke on the
line. Finally, after a long
stubborn fight, it broke the
surface and you should have
seen the look on Clays face.
Total surprise.
In 15 years of fly fishing,
this was Clays first carp on
a fly.
Aloha,
Stan
