I have never even caught a carp before and obviously was not targeting them, but this guy absolutely smoked my pink trout magnet today at the creek. I was casting near some cover I felt a twitch, set it, and he grabbed that thing and ran, pulling drag on my 4 lb line like crazy. It was definitely the wildest fight I've had ultralight fishing yet and was happy to land him after losing two fish at the bank before this. Anyone guesstimate size? I didn't have a scale or tape. My net is 16" x 13" if that helps but it's pretty deep too.
