So.....I've been having trouble catching a bass out of our pond so far this spring. Dad put a thousand minnows in there last week and they've been gorging themselves on those things. I decided to downsize and go with this G&G Mini Chub...
First cast along the pond dam and something slams it near shore. I reach over with one hand to turn on the video camera and right then a gust of wind knocks over the tripod.
The drag is screaming and as I get both hands back on the rod....SNAP! 
WTH? I just put new line on this reel before we went to Florida. I used 6lb P-Line Floroclear and I've caught big fish on this stuff before. I'm pretty sure there's no bass or cats big enough in the pond to break this line.....so I'm thinking I must have snagged one of the big carp in there?? Now I want to go try and catch the carp to see if it's got a Mini Chub stuck in it! 
I tied on another Mini Chub and did end up catching a couple small bass on video at the pond and down the road at Hillenbrand FWA.

Just another night at work for me and Monty will be back here again bright and early.
