Citation Rainbow at Northwest Branch
Type: Freshwater
Region: Central
Location: Northwest Branch
I have landed another monster trout, this one measuring in at 24 inches. I caught this fish at Northwest Branch and had to jump in the water to land it due to my light line (4lb. test). He turns out to be my second citation trout for the year, the other being a 26.5 inch rainbow once again out of Northwest Branch.

Caught a Nice Carp on the Potomac
Type: Freshwater
Region: Central
Location: Potomac River Dam No. 5
We headed to Dam No. 5, which I think is the best dam fishing spot in Maryland just because of the amount of space the fish have there, it's huge. After catching a nice channel on hotdog as cutbait, I landed a nice 26 inch common carp which put up a nice fight. 10 minutes later, zmmmmmmmmmmm…there goes my Peen Fierce reel screaming. This fish was big. It could've been anything, but it was fighting like a huge carp. I adjusted my drag to the tightest, anymore and the line would have snapped. I couldn't stop him, he just kept going until he broke me off.
Tackle: Heavy stuff, 20lb PowerPro braid with a heavy saltwater setup if you expect to land a giant carp. As far as rigs, the slip rig is a great one, with a number 4 SSW Owner hook. Corn is the bait to use, or doughballs.

Here is a picture of my daughter after she caught and killed a snakehead at Ft. Washington. She caught it with a blood worm and was very proud of herself. She was very happy but said the fish smelled.
