Actually, we were there for a little bit of 23 May as well, but hey, who's counting? Anyway, the boys and I caught about a dozen nice-sized if not real big carp, with Adam catching the largest one which looked to go around 12 or 13 pounds. We also tried a few poles with live and cut bluegills, but there were no takers on these. Some of the carp captures: The night's big surprise came when after landing one carp we noticed what looked like a nightcrawler wiggling beside the fish and it turned-out to be a lamprey maybe 6" long! Anyone else ever catch a fish with a lamprey on it? Here it is inside an empty oats container:

some lamprey are considered invasive. Lake Erie has lamprey that are really hurting the ecosystem in some areas. if they aren't native in your area you may want to report it to your local Fish and Wildlife Office.
