There was some confusion as to what the other two fish (besides Colby's bass) were. Not a carp, a Largescale sucker. Look here:

Largescale Sucker - Montana Field Guide

Never seen one before.

Wait what? That doesn't look anything like a carp? Joe sounded pretty sure that the 2 fish he caught were carp...

Had a blast by the way... it was great to meet everyone. I'm stoked that I was able to get my motor back together in time to participate. Thanks Fin.. and everyone who contributed..

Bernie is correct large scale sucker river dweller normally I just tend to call all suckers carp My salmon buddy calls them hoovers , probably infiltrated pond during high water events via irrigation canals .

 

[nwkiller]

well, sounds like the sun tans were more prevelant then the fish, looks like you guys had a great time. great looking pond, someday ill get there. Course colby pulls the 1 fish, damn pro. the way i look at it is, a skunk can't bring down an amazing oregon spring day. Wish i could have made it! great pics too!

 

[nwkiller]

sorry and the large scales too

 

[colbypearson]

it was a super nice day, even just meeting everyone was awesome... i promise that rod will be put to good use, i have already got a ton of bass on it in one day

 

[Thuggin4Life]

i guess you were right with the "we will see about that" if i didn't miss that one strike i would have a had a chance. look forward to fishing with you again colby.

Thanks for the invite to your place TR. I just wasn't feeling up to it when I heard the piter pater of rain on my camper roof & I was worn out from yesterday. From what colby posted about breaking in his new rod I should have draged my rear end out of bed. So just how many got slayed at your place?

 

[Melly Bait]

Thanks TR.. Top water fishing is my most fav.. There is nothing quite like getting that explosion...

don't feel bad jeanna sometimes getting skunked in bass fishing happens. don't believe people that say oh, bass are stupid ditch pickles that are so easy to catch. try around the next month or less during the spawn with a popper or frog then you will be hooked
