I had a nice Grass carp a few years back just came in quite easy from a baitboated bait at long range, but once in swallow water and heading to the net man it shot off like a torpedo !!! my rear drag was all set up so no hook pulls and must have gone out half the distance i was fishing , in the end got her in the net and photos in the water on a floating unhooking matt but was still going mad !! got a few snaps and away she went........first one i have ever caught and had no more since and went 29lb-12oz..

Stupid thing fought harder in the net!!!!!!!!

That was my experience with the only one I ever caught too! Just as well really, as it was a double on a float rod and 3lb line!

I caught just the 1 and only one, about 15lb grass carp from a lake in paddock wood (kent). 5am in the morning just as i was in my sleeping bag dozing off and the buzzer goes off, jumped up like we do, running around on the frosty cold ground in my boxers and socks, lol. Nice fish tho and put up quite a decent fight.
