Fish Catch Details
- Angler Name: Michael Combs
- Angler Home: Ann Arbor, MI
- Date of Catch: June 28, 2024
- County: Stearns
- Lake/River: Pine Lake
- Species: Carp
- Size: 34" / 21 lb 8 oz
- Catch Was: Harvested
- Catch Story: I caught this fish off the dock at the cabin my Grandfather built using an inline method lead, bread crumb/corn mixture as a pack bait, and a scented artificial corn piece on a hair rig. The fish ran to the west, risking breaking the 10 lb. test line on the boat lift to that side, so I had to improvise. I ended up getting on a paddle board to avoid getting tangled up and the fish dragged me around the north end of the lake before netting it while still on the board (thankfully it had dragged me nearer to one of the neighboring docks and it wasn't a bad trip back to land).
