Needed bigger net fishing hair jigs
Cold morning bite was slow bank fishing on the river, couple small bass on the wedge tail fox jigs so made the switch to a darker pattern without the wedge tail. Only got one bite on it but made the most of it. Another grass carp that was even bigger than the one I caught last week. Net was way too small but tried twice to get it in there but only 1/3 of the fish would fit, hook pulled on second try and got soaked as fish swam away. Fish was long and round, probably 20-25 lbs. Taking bigger net next time I go. Left the river and fished a lake for a little bass fishing. Caught two in an hour on a 1/4 oz. bunny underspin. Very windy morning but good trip overall.

Grass carp are totally different from a common carp when it comes to how they fight. They roll on the line and when I first stuck this fish it almost jumped clear of the water similar to a Tarpon. Using 10# braid I had it to the bank in less than five minutes. At least it let me take a picture. Really wanted to get a picture with a tape measure to see how long it was.
