Blood Indian: Prussian Carp update

[pinelakeperch]

Hey guys,

My buddy and I decided to head up to Blood to check out the Rainbow action. The bite wasn't bad, we managed 5 nice fish and missed at least half a dozen more. We saw a behemoth (for Blood) swimming around our holes, my best guess would be 6 or 7 pounds. Couldn't entice him to bite!

After cleaning the fattest one, I noticed it had a very large stomach. After cutting it open, I noticed three Prussian Carp, all three of various sizes. One of them would've been approximately 3 inches long had its tail been intact. I'm not sure if it's because the trout are gorging on them or what it is but the average size fish today was way bigger than last year. I've also fished Blood fairly often and I've rarely seen a fish the size as the one that was swimming around my hole.

I'll add some photos later.

Should make for big fish quick. There will be an unlimited supply of carp babies for a while I imagine. It will be interesting to see if the trout can make a dent in the carp population

Wayne in gessing the pike weights in J are rapidly getting bigger.the unfortunate part is it might be awfull tough getting one of those big hens to bite with all that premium bait swimming around.
