Benni, that's an impressive looking fish. Are you allowed to keep them where you fish?

I'm very familiar with grass carp, we have them here too. But you need to be aware that they are exceptionally delicate fish. Holding it like that was probably a death sentence, which is a shame if you were catch/release fishing.

I've stopped targeting them, but when I did, I used a barbless hook and slid them onto the grass for release, gently as possible. In Europe, carp fishermen use special landing mats to reduce stress. After the last one, I decided it's not even worth it, the fight is pathetic for their size, hardly any sport even with the ultra-light I was using.

Just a little FYI, not meaning to get on your case!  ;D
it did put up a fight but had to be reavived,,,,,, :( not as tough as the common carp,,,, :D thanks for the good advice,,,,,,,, ;D

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Beautiful spot.  Nice fish.  Only the most avid fishermen go to the effort to catch bait the day before.
