Man.. Sounds like your buddy has some good casting skills. Too bad it was a nasty ass carp on the other end. THose things are impossible to clean. Ive heard though they are tasty if you can clean them right.

[DTfan]

I haven't been fishing since I was a kid! My dad use to take me but he doesn't anymore...BallaBaby is suppose to take me but I doubt she ever will...she's lazy!

[football05]

QQ carps are nasty BUT i wouldnt eat anything from the river no joke....heck when that thing pulled my pole in I was expecting to catch something with 14 eyes and 5 legs walking out of the water......lol

[thetribe]

That is hilarious football. I know the feeling of not wanting to eat any of that crap. We fish out of the Upper Levisa River and the Big Sandy all of the time and why they aren't genetically mutated is beyond me. You never know how many people' s sewage is running into the river and god only knows what kind of crap is dumped in there.

One time my grandfather was talking to members of the Corp of Engineers when they drained some of the water down at the Lickcreek branch of Fishtrap and the man told him that they had found bags of blood transfusions that had the hospital from Grundy, Virginia's label on them.....

One time my grandfather told me they saw Big Foot walking the railroad bridge in Elkhorn City.

[thetribe]

HOLY COW!
Maybe he just said that to scare you?!

I would think that there could be ghost at the railroad bridge because the train that derailed and stuff. Was anyone killed during that? I know that the train is so far down in the river that divers cannot get to it because of their ears, even the professionals that were brought in could not get to it. They will have to use small one person submarines or something if they ever make it down to it.

[FOX SPORTS]

He may have...he didn't like my fascination with the bridge.
So the river is that deep??

[thetribe]

Well apparently through there it is because I mean, if a train can go down that far that professional drivers cannot get to it..River depths varies and all but through there, it is really far down. For the train to disappear, people be able to jump from the bridge, and all of that you know that it HAS to be a VERY depth spot.
I had been white water rafting and kayaking through there a number of times and no matter how clear the water is, near the bridge is gets very dark down in the water which of course means that it is pretty dang deep.

I could understand where your grandfather would not want you playing on the bridge or jumping like most people. Maybe it was for your safety and then again, maybe not....

[football05]

Yea I say your grandfather told you that to scare you so you wouldnt go over there I dont blame him....

[15thRegionCrazy]

You better call me next time football lol..
