finals week.. my last week as a college undergraduate (i hope). in between drinking tons of energy drinks and fueling a tobacco addiction, i had to scratch an itch that kept irritating me: fishing. good thing my school is near 2 lakes.. both are well known for having carp. decided to soak some bait while i study for as long as my laptop stays alive. good thing the bite only took 15 minutes. and the battle took another 35. solid double digit fish (26") safely released and back to studying i go.

nice one
 

haha, i love the "safely released" part. it's not like a carp can't survive a couple hours out of the water, or their numbers are threatened. why is it upside down?

Nice Diversion :rolleyes:

That's what I need to do...lol:reel:

Nice Carp.

You be using that bait you told me about?

haha, soak a bait while I study with my laptop. Was this all while on a yak?

he was right-side-up and when i went to take the picture, he decided to flop and do a 180 turn. so i just took the picture anyways lol

they sure can be acrobatic, even at that size. congrats on making it through finals, like the fish
