The lake is owned by the college I attend

Man, that's very nice.
Wish i would have been there.
But then you'd most likely have passed out by the time you had a run, and i would have drilled that lovely fish.
Your college seems like a very cool place, allthough a private carppond would do my study no good...
And let me tell you i caught loads of carp, but this little fellow is the only mirror carp i ever caught in the 7 years i go fishing for carp.
Oh , and my wife caught one once at 2 inches, and she wanted to take it home and have an aquarium...
I'm very gratefull to this lil' carp, for it got me started out in the hobby and we all know where that led too.
