<p>What in the Sam Hill! Crime in Italy!! My most unexpected catch of the contest by far, was castin&nbsp;out&nbsp;of them there lil Cleo fellers to try fer a Muskie, has me a follow er&nbsp;two but no esox. Made another cast and got whacked real good. Some how this here big head feller thought he was macho man randy savage and brother lemme me tell ya as sure as there is stank on a monkey he was fair hooked with a lil cleo. This angler couldn’t have been tickled a darker shade of pink. HUZZAH</p>

That bighead is doing to the button what you and Mat did to the contest itself this year! Fantastic catch this late in the game - isn't it wierd how Asian carp hit spoons and jigs? I mean, it's awesome because how else could we catch them, but still just really bizarre. Anyone who has done it knows it's no fluke (or lucky floss) - these fish hit HARD. How long did you have to fight this monster? 

Do not meddle in the affairs of BAGMAN, for thou art crunchy and good with Old Bay seasoning...

These sons o bisculuts sure fight hard.  I had my trusty fenwick eagle at my side with some 30lb braid on er so it weren’t to long a fight for this sweaty angler luckily. But once I seent where it was hooked the fight felt like it lasted an epoch or similar length time unit. I was pleading ‘please stay on’ the whole time just like when my night light is on the fritz.  That same fenwick rod caught over half my contest species for me this year. 

Ya just Can't catch um from the couch.
