We had to release a carp today.

It was a sad day on the river. A kid came down with a bluegill rod and 6#
test. Things were slow, I only had 3 hookups in an hour. The rookie
managed to hook a medium carp of 35 inches and pushing close to 30# (mebbe)
He wrassled it in though, with expert backup on the net.

I had my new cam, he had a tape measure. The rest was fated.

Michigan Master Angler award only requires a 30 inch entry (carp) and a
picture.

It's all my fault. I had the form on my computer. The kid was happy. The
dreaded, dratted deed brought a tear to my eye as I urged him to release his
carp quickly.

I hope no one saw us throwing back a carp; my reputation would be ruined.
In the civilized world its illegal.

Shoot, if you could come down to Monroe county, you could fine tons of
Dead ones just like that one you pictured. And these line the shores of
Sterling and could set records.
