I was night fishing for catfish actually, when all of a sudden my bait was just drifting midwater column. Hmmm, water current? I reeled up the slack didn't feel sinker on bottom anymore. I decide to just give it a tug and suddenly I got a hard run. Fish on! I thought I had a big catfish that was really running. I pulled it in close several times and it took off each time. So I had to set up the big fish trap trick. I set the net into the water, pulled the fish over it, and lifted the net. It was in, and was a bit bigger than I had thought. Now I get out my flashlight and bammm, big carp!

I guesstimated it about 10 lbs.
