Default Big freaky carp

Hi,

Here is a pic of the last carp I caught on nymph.

I found it pretty freaky

It weighted 13 lbs and provided a great fight, though its overweight.

And one hour after been released the fish was feeding back again !!

Never thought I'd see a beerbelly on a fish. Is this from a natural water or is it from a commercial fishery?

And here and there a grayling,

And here and there a foamy flake
Upon me, as I travel
With many a silvery waterbreak
Above the golden gravel,

And draw them all along, and flow
To join the brimming river,
For men may come and men may go,
But I go on for ever.
