ThNks, I was exhausted afterwards to say the least; especially when you got a carp on each rod...troutierbassier told me that winter carp are sluggish and weak during the winter; and I kind of didn't believe it until this outing...overall the fish were pretty weak, kind of comparable to trout, but every once in a while the 9 lbers would nearly break my line and they would run up a cove on the same bank as me...I have to admit though, i also lost a lot of fish because I rushed it
