Dragged by a BIG Fish on My KAYAK (Conasauga River)

Went fishing in a small clear river for spotted bass and coosa bass. Ended up hooking into a giant fish.

That was a really nice Carp! I got my first one on a lure last year (Ned Rig) and it was on my 4'6" GX2 Ultra Light. Took literally 20 minutes to get him in on that 4lb mono, but I nabbed him. I didn't have a scale that day, but I'd estimate between 15-20lbs and he was around the size of yours. I recommend trying to target them some time, they are loads of fun if you can get them to bite. More of a passive style of fishing, but nothing fights like a carp. Also, I thought the angles and camera work and everything were excellent in this video. Audio was a bit quiet at times when your mic was behind you, but not too bad. Great stretch of river you're fishing, too.

[@chaddrumm6809]

Audio was great!

I liked when you pulled me upstream with you. I was sitting back there eating a Debbie cake and drinking a Dew!

[@larrysmalley3421]

That is a great episode! ''Old Sam''. Tucker's Lake, caught by Howard Sprague. Caught him using potato salad that was left-over from lunch. I don't get to see it often because MeTV only shows the black & white episodes. Stupid, but they think that the color ones are no good because Barney is gone. There are nearly as many good color episodes as there are b & w. And only 3 color seasons vs 5 b & w.

[@TwinklesTheChinchilla]

What I would give for rock-bottom rivers and creeks around here. We've got mostly sand. Basically, quicksand: you better be ready to bail out of your waders or galoshes if you don't move quickly, due to the suction. But if you can traverse it, you can find some excellent smallies and channel cats, and closer to the Appalachians, (the rivers just East of them in Va, like the Smith River), have some MASSIVE brookies and brown trout, if you're willing to hoof it into "Heart of Darkness" territory. There are more stone-bottom paths there, but they're typically deep, so us poor people without watercraft have to hold to overhangs along the edges. Heh, who says fishing is relaxing? :P

I think the sound was great. A little lower than normal, but I have a volume button, so no problem 😂😂 Most important is that even near background noise, like running water, your voice was clear and easily distinguished.

The camera work was great. The two separate angles worked. I would prefer that you have the microphone with you. On the distance shots it was distracting to have the audio unsteady. And, you find the most picturesque places to fish. Well done.

Killer! There are a group of hardcore carp chasers on the South Platte in Colorado, that are very successful catching brute common carp using crayfish imitator flies.

[@greenwoodsbushhogging6704]

You need to score a old backpack with the waist and chest straps. Cut everything off except the back pieces and the straps and tie the leash to the lower part of it. It's almost like you're not dragging the kayak behind you with that setup. Also helps when dragging it across the ground too.

[@madenthecountrybabylikegri1261]

Amen!!!!

[@edwardtaylor923]

Just wondering if you mash down the barbs on your hooks. I think that gives you easier hook ups when using light tackle. I don't feel that it causes you to lose any fish as long as you keep a tight line during the fight. Much easier on the fish and tremendously better on the fisherman when you have the inevitable hook in your finger !
