Thought it was a whopper

Photo Description:
My daughter Emily caught this carp on Spiritwood lake just minutes after her older brother caught a whopper walleye.  She thought for sure she had her second whopper walleye on the line and I did to.  Even though it turned out to be just a carp, she had tons of fun bringing it in and anticipating what she thought was huge walleye coming to the net.  Not a bad memory for the last day of summer vacation.

Haha that's awesome. I can't wait for our daughter to experience fishing and the outdoors. I'm glad I've had a "good fishing career" so far, because I have a feeling it's going to be all about her, instead of me worrying if I'm going to catch fish or not. And the more I think about it, I probably won't even bother wetting a line.

It is going to the smoker.  She caught it and wanted to keep it so I had to do something with it.

Cool. I have a big smoker too and I've been cursed at for throwing them back by people that like them.. Do you just head em' and gut em and smoke whole. I may have to keep one to smoke up with some whitebass and catfish next time...

Head em, gut em, and split em down the middle.  They are definitely better in the spring than the summer and the smaller ones are better than the big ones.
