Hit the water yesterday after work. Covered a lot of water, got quite a few gangjunchi (river tarpon, more properly called predatory carp). Tried quite a few crankbaits, but the only ones that got bit were various Shad Raps. One hit as I ripped the lure backwards out of a snag, covered in fishing line and all?

Largest was 87cm, 3.5kg (little over 8lbs). All released.

Saw one Korean deer, but didn't get a real clear picture. You can barely make out it's boar like tusks in the pic.

Also, lot of flying mullet in this river as well.

More pics. The Chinese call these fish skygazer. Looking at them head-on, remind of of a borderline retarded fish.
