Last cast 6.25 lb fish

[NJ219bands]

Went fishing 🎣 in 84.5 degrees Dam Site 21 this evening on a hot 🥵, sunny day with a strong south wind. No cars 🚗 were in the parking lot when I arrived but 6 fishermen arrived before I left. Only one boat was on the lake. I killed a mosquito 🦟. Threw out canned, whole kernel corn 🌽 for chum, then caught and released an 8” bluegill with a 1/32 oz twister tail jig on 2 lb test line. On my last cast of the day, I landed a 24” 6.25 lb common carp with corn 🌽 bait after a long battle. I caught 9 carp in the lake in the past month.
