12 POUNDER!!! cranking on an He76MC

[TTCal]

Went out for a short trip this morning to a local reservoir fishing from shore and nailed this 12 pounder cranking an 1/8 oz Luhr Jenson Speed Trap on my He76MC and Calais 201-5 reel....




ok... so it's a 12lb carp!

This thing actually went after my crank! Thought for a little while, I had myself a real nice bass, but when it didn't even try to jump, I knew something was up. Once I saw it was a carp, I stopped babying it and muscled it right to shore. My He76MC did the job just fine.
