FISHING with member zorro and his bro today

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
He's absolutely right. Don't touch the gills. Grab the lower jaw if anything. But you WILL kill the fish by holding them the way you did.
 
the gill cover is conected to the jaw structure- the lips tear very easily so theres no other way to get a hold of them without dropping the fish


it exspands away from the actual gill organ


were suppossed to kill these fish anyways... we always see them dead on the quinnipiac river (on the river side) where fishermen throw them while trout fishing....
 
weve gotten fish that we know are the same exact same fish we caught a year ago


the gill plates have scars on the biggest ones because it sometimes tears a 1.2in in this lighter membrane, its fun catchign the same fish 1 year later at almost 5-10 pounds heavier
 
nice catches. i caught a 35+lb. grass carp last summer but i dont know how to use my scanner. do the carp u guys catch fight? mine didnt. it didnt even flinch slightly. it felt like catching a big log that could swim... slowly.
 
these one sheadshake and make runs alot- 6-8pound test


quite a few break offs but once there hook they run like mad
 
Yeah they took out line. They just eat the bread then just like rip your line out then they just get tired and then they come in like a rock
 
kool. i have heard that they either fight hard or they dont fight at all. i've exp. both
 
i fidn the really small and medium fish fight the most - the monster that are fat males dont do anythign but a female full of eggs will fight for her life
