Carp on a rattle trap

[Apt79]

I had to tell this story, It has finally started getting somewhat nice here in N.E. Ohio so we have been hitting the local ponds, fishing slow, and starting to catch some large mouth. Today it was alittle rain and cold but went anyway. I was throwing a red eyed 1/4oz lipless and kept getting bit but no takers. I would say every 5 min or so something was wackin at that bait but it wouldn't take it. I thought to my self I should have at least hooked one by now, but anyway I finally did and it was a wopper! I thought well I side hooked a carp, but that wasn't the case. I reeled this hog in and this damn carp had my rattle trap in his mouth, my brother is my witness. It had to be 15 to 20lbs. Thats why I couldnt hook anyhting because the carp were wackin it, but this one ate it. My brother and I just looked at eachother like did that carp really bite that bait. I would love to hear if anyone else has had a carp eat a bass bait besides a little grub. Just got some humor out of it and thought I would share.
