Caught this cracking leather carp off the surface using floating bread, unfortunately i didn't have any scales with me. A guy on the bank gave me 20Ibs but I honestly don't know. Anyone hazard a guess?

 

p.s. please accept my apologies for the gormeless look on my face ;)

Its quite long but not very deep! My first thought was a low double so I'll guess 13lbs but I think I may be guessing too light!

What a long lean cracking looking fish.

 

I would guess 16lbs.

Fishing seems to be my favorite form of loafing.

I know the joy of fishes in the river through my own joy, as I go walking along the same river.

 

What do you think if the float does not dip, try again I think.

My first thought was about 10lb - it's quite long but has no belly to it. I doubt it goes any more than 15lb, so I'd settle for an estimated 11-12lb.

 

Nice fish!

And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music

Simon, he didn't have scales!

 

BTW Gone Fishin, that's a mirror not a leather (it has scales along its back).
