Default Last cast fish 🎣

Cooked up my first batch of homemade corn meal bait this afternoon then went carping in 56 degree muddy, flooded Carnegie Lake on a cloudy, cold day during a sou’wester small craft advisory. There was current in the lake from flood water release. My flood spot was no longer underwater since the water level was much lower than the previous day. Threw out a can of ShopRite extra crispy whole kernel corn 🌽, then hooked a big fish 🎣 with a 1/32 oz twister tail jig on 2 lb test line near the shore. It made a long run through the candocks to my left but threw the hook after a long fight. I didn’t use my 4 lb test outfit. Caught a carp belly scale after a yank with a #8 red treble hook on 12 lb test line. On my last cast of the day, I landed a 3 lb common carp on my corn meal bait.
