GUESS WHO CAUGHT HIS FIRST CARP ON A FLY TODAY???
THIS GUY!!!

This was my second outing with the fly rod and I'm a total noob with it...I'm just freestyling and learning on the go.

This was my reaction when I finally hooked up...

Congrats, maybe it's beginner's luck lol. It's nice to see those ponds producing fish. I also saw your video with the couple monster bluegill, I didn't think fish would be in that pond since it looks quite shallow. What were the lengths of those bluegill?

Good going, PUMP! Nice size fish too. What weight is that?

Just as an FYI, be careful not to high stick the rod when you try landing the fish. I know you float fish with even longer rods, but float rods tends to have slower action compared to fly rods...and I've snapped a 10-wt trying to beach a salmon when I accidentally high sticked the rod. I can see in the video where you really try to pull the rod back over your head to bring the fish to the net. I know it's a tough one-man job...but still, be careful. Smile

Caution - Objects in picture are smaller than they appear. I am genetically predisposed to make fish look bigger.

Yea man, beginners luck Smile
There's not that many big ones in there, I only saw and caught 2. I was being selective which panfish I wanted to catch.

Thanks Ken.

It's a 8wt.

I wasn't thinking... I should've extended the net but I totally forgot that I can do that.
I was more focused in not losing this carp. I'll know for next time.
