Not a bad size, they grow up
Not a bad size, they grow up to about 50lb in the UK but not many places where they are and they are unaccessible to most people. I try to aim for 20lb + so this size is pretty good.

Nah mate
But it certainley is very different kind of fishing! I rekon you'll love the fishing over here, even with the ocean experiance you already have. By the way - thanks for all the posts from the UK it's good seeing what the rest of the world get up to.

Eating
Are they good eating or are they rubbish bin material?
Either way they look like giving you a run for your money when they're that big.
Good one Rog

I used to catch big carp in
I used to catch big carp in Japan when I was a kid. Just threw out some old bread, then waited for them to eat the one with the hook in it.
I also caught a good sized one at Golden Ponds. It took some line off the reel.

The reel is a shimano 10000
The reel is a shimano 10000 XTE and the rod is a 2.5lb test curve normark. A fairly soft rod for the job enhances the fight. The reel is awesome!
