Kosydor Adventures

Kosydor Fish Camp on Crab Orchard Lake awoke to clear skies and a light breeze. The guys in camp were looking forward to some trolling for Crappie. The coffee was made, the boats were checked over and made ready to launch. Ron Jr. and Ron Kosydor Sr. chatted about fishing near the bridge while finishing off the coffee. Mike and Leo Kosydor made plans to fish near campground bay before searching some of their other hot spots. Ron and Ron could not locate any fish near the bridge where they had caught 75 fish several weeks before. They moved near the damn and started picking up a few fish in deep water. Mike and Leo motored up and complained they had not found the fish yet either, but that was about to change. About a half hour later Ron and Ron could see that Mike Kosydor had a large fish bending the 12 foot crappie rod. Leo was moving about the boat pulling in trolling rods to make room for Mike to fight the heavy fish. After what seemed to be 5-10 minutes Mike yelled that he had a monster Carp and not a Channel Cat as we had assumed. Mike asked for assistance and to bring our big net. Minutes later the huge fish was dropped into the bottom of the boat. This monster was caught on a white and chartreuse Jiffy Jig with 6lb test line while trolling for Crappie.
