My first ever big fish!

Post by fishing_minnow » Sun Apr 01, 2018 7:09 pm

Hi all,
My father kindly took me to Albert Park Lake today, and I tried carp fishing for the first time. I took the advice of Smokin_reels and managed to hook one! It was a fight like I have never experienced before, and left both me and the carp tired. After some time of intense line taking, I finally managed to tire out the carp. I landed it successfully and here are some photos. I hope I will continue to improve on fishing and catch some even bigger ones!

Nice work mate and congrats on your biggest fish!
It’s a beauty. Catch it on bait or with a lure?
