Not much to say about this one he put up a good fight but jumped and hit his head or back on a rock on the bank when I was reeling him in, he didn’t get hurt though. He also almost took my rod

I had a few pieces of corn on a hook and let it sit for a few minutes and I hooked him while Damien and Beckett were dealing with another carp
