It was around 12 noon and the tide was coming in .My line took off 10 min. later we seen it was a monster carp, the tide was up another 8 in. and i had to move to the other side of the dead fall in the water. My Dad had to go into the water to net the carp. There was no other way. The carp was 37'' w/27'' girt an was 25 lb. This carp had a large hump on it back, and very fat.
