Yes, it ran straight right into the flow across the river as soon as it felt the circle hook in it's mouth. When it couldn't go any farther, it ran straight into the dam wall! Then it turned around and went downstream and we tried to get it in the net. It did a few more short runs before we netted it. It was very fun on a 9ft light steelhead rod!

First Carp?
That's a dandy, heck of a way to go on the first one. Looks like it was in current too, did make the drag scream on the initial run?
