I think this is a grass carp. Its hard to know because there seem to be a lot of different types of carp in the river this year and I really dont care enough to do and carp research. I dont mind catching them because they always put up a good fight and raise the excitment level. The hope of it being a game fish before they break water is exciting. The only bad part about catching them is the slime and scales they leave in on and all around the boat. This one hit on my light fast action rod and it really tested out the flexability and strength of the rod and holder.
