Canandaigua panfish

[reubenpa]

got 38 gills and 14 rockies last evening... biggest gill was 9.5 inches...   I fished in a little corner of this place, and there was a big log kinda holding in some other chunks of wood.  There was an opening that was wedge shaped about 6 feet at the widest and maybe 8 foot long. I tried there and for an hour and a half I was getting them strong, and I was at that spot for 2 hours.  kept about 45 out of that little spot. On the other side of the log I couldn't buy a bite.  The pic of the single fish was the biggest gill!!  Enjoy...

Holy cow Rueben, that a big carp!!  Must have put up a good fight on a panfish rod and reel.  Do you eat them or are they for the posies?

[reubenpa]

posies definately. I only kept them so I could get a pic of my biggest fish ever. If I had a camara thre they would have gone back... I forgot to post that the big one had a 27 inch girth

I was told that spring carp are tasty.  I have yet to try one, but havent caught any in the past few years.  I guess they are a popular in Europe.  Anybody have any Carp recipes? Reuben sure looks like he needs one with all that Carp!   Nice catch!

Whew!  You had me a little concerned.    Good job again, big fish of any kind are fun to land!
