wow! nice catch rugos!

I'm with skunk on this one... I'll toss back little guys and crazy big old guys so the genes survive. anything in between comes out the water and goes on the menu...

still learning this stuff but just read that buffalo is a carp. the one I've been seeing troll the bank every morning looks to be a bit smaller than yours rugos. my guess is well over 6 pounds and seeing yours makes me think he's in the 8-9 pound range maybe. yesterday I fished the lake behind where I normally fish and saw some nice ones is there. saw a couple that had looked well over 10 pounds come close to the surface. they seems to stay fairly active when nothing else stopped biting. it's pretty easy to locate them with the bubbles and mud swells the kick up. I think I'm going to set up a couple rigs and try for them in the next few times I go out.

what type of rig do you guys use for carp?
