haha…rat thought he had a monster on and I was all stoked cause I was gettin’ a homie on what I thought would be a nice fish. One flash of orange and all of our hopes were quickly diminished. Rat got it to the boat real quick with his sweet new calcutta reel. But at the boat I wasn’t gonna grab that thing and rat sure didn’t want to either. A few tugs of the hudd, off the ugly creature went. What a start to a long skunky day! I was pissed cause I didn’t get a pic of rat and his beautiful carp too.
