Smallmouth and lost Carp

On a nice afternoon some time ago I headed over to a small channel feeding my local lake. I know it to be a good feeding ground for big carp, and also good for smallmouth. I caught several bass before a big common showed up. I put on a fly I created combining a tellico wet fly and bead chain eyes and flicked it a few inches to the big fishes right. I had no chance, it broke the leader with one head shake.
