i was fishing this man made lake in texas called lake kirby. well i seen the water boiling about 25 yds out so i put a nightcrawler on with a bobber. winged it out there and about 5 minutes later wammo! the fight was on. 1hr 50 min later i landed a 90 lb big headed carp on8lb test 7' fenwick rod. i dragged that monster across the dam . had hell putting it into my truck. took to a local bait shop to have weighed on official scales 90 lbs on the nose. back then i couldnt afford a 57 "fish to be mounted so it went to local dump. i have pictures of it i'll try and put it on here. bluegill king :o

we were in perch bay 1 year fishing for pike with big bobbers and huge shiners on black lake. the water came alive with huge swirls and fish jumping all over. all of a sudden my  huge bobber went under and took off towards the middle of the lake . i fought the beast thinking i had the monster pike of my life. i finally got it near the boat and it swam under the boat. my buddy said man thats a huge pike. just then it swam back the other way and a saw the round tail and huge spot on its tail. it was a dogfish or bowfin. my buddy grabbed the line pulling the fish up and the sob almost bit my buddys nose off. it was 1 crazy mad fish. i handed him my knife and said that thing aint coming in this boat. he said it might be a state record to which i said who gives a rat arse!!!!!!!!!!. great fight 1 ill truly remember.

An ugly fish that kinda looks like a catfish...   No whiskers... dorsal fin continues into the tail I think.... VERY UGLY and horible tasting.  I got one 21 " many years ago and didn't know what it was and tried to eat it....  2 bites from me and my fam, and it went to the woods!!!   MUSH...  GAGAGAGAGAGAg
Just wanna be fishing, not just wishin
