Hi John,

Do those things fight?

Also what bait did you take it on?

Im curious, being a typical euro carp angler.

[jabram1]

Yes mate, Buffs are strong fish so they can fight long and hard. This fish fought a long time and the surges of power are immense. When these things finally surface, everybody just gasps at the sheer size of these fish. Great fish to catch but can be very frustrating to hook in the first place.

[TheRoachCoach]

Just had a look at your boilie and hook range. Very unique flavours lined up, boilie wise and worth trying in the future. when the carp season kicks back off in england i will definately think about the old EZ in 1 hooks. I'd love to come to the USA to have a crack at them carp when im older. are they native to the states?

[jabram1]

Many Thanks. Yes, Buffalo are native to the USA.

That is a nice fish, I wonder what a fight it was.

[jabram1]

Buffs are strong fish so they can fight long and hard. They use the profile and weight against you in the slightest of currents. They also stay deep as much as they can leaving you more chance of getting hung up.

Way to go man!
