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 .
 
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!
 
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 :)
 
Didn't know so many photos of me were taken in secrecy. lol. Had a great time and even managed to catch a buzz and a sunburn. nice to meet everyone thanks fp for the invite.

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.
 
OK... So I am so grateful for the FP family.. Mr. Darthbeans and I had a blast... So much in fact that I created my self a profile.. just so I can join in on the chatty fun... Here is the one and only pic I took.. Right at "Blast Off" Thank you EVERYONE for everything... you guys rock! Melody (aka Darthbeans's other half.. or Now known as Melly Bait... )

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?
