Meremac River Tarpon

[go4ducks2]

Redneck Tarpon that is.....went down and put in at St. Clair Hwy30 ramp went up river and started out catching a few 12" smallies

on a tiny torpedo ultra light 4lb test...then this thing came up and engulfed the torpedo like a shark......one hour and fifteen minutes

later got my torpedo back.

darn. One hour and fifteen minutes. That's a serious fight.

That lookalike a flying carp to me. I guess they are up in the that river as well.

I've seen the flying carp and this its not, they are flatter through the middle, this thing was more round through the middle....so it must be a bighead carp.......me being the catch and release kinda guy I am let it go not really thinking that

it is an invasive species and should have destroyed it......lesson learned.

I do not know what it is for sure.maybe it is a big head carp I think I recall seeing pictures of them.

I think you might have tossed away a world record Chub.

Naw, that's a Grassie.

[Old plug]

I was kind if hoping you would see this subject I thought sure you would know. . Isn't there some breed of Asian carp that looks like that. Could it be a grass carp. I know I have seen a picture of this thing but do not know what the hell it is.

[fishinwrench]

It's a grass carp
