strange fish

[Gray-Catchpole]

yes dragon it worked, prices needed now

 

bruno, the two tone fish that gary caught, had a distinct fold where the coulor change merged, by that i mean when the fish moved, it seemed to be on a hinge at that point, would that be spinal and muscular.

Once when I was fly fishing in Devon and a small trout pond, I foul hooked in the tail a rainbow trout of about 10lb. The fish, when observed in the water had its tail hanging down at an angle of about 45 degrees t it's body. The tail was just bone and no flesh. The trout was killed to put it out of suffering. The reason for the loss of flesh was that the pond was not big enough and didn't have enough food in it to support a big trout of that size.

I have caught a 3 lipped rudd. whether the top lip was split from hooking or not I don't know.

I thought all british carp was deformed with great big pop bellies

We could of used you jack on big carp.

Don't know about the tench but that carp is definitely a cut'n'shut job, probably done by some unscrupulous fishery owner to create one supposidly good fish from two right-offs.

Can't tell on the photo very well, but could it be that the Carp has developed one very large scale by some strange quirk of breeding?

Sevenoaks?? Ain't that the place where they are filming the latest series of the X-Files???

I also hear the area round there is well know by all the UFO enthusiastes(sp) for having more 'sightings' than any where else in the UK.

IMO this is a case for Maulder and Scully.

 

Either that or there must be a GM farm near by that has a few over spills in to the water course.....

Carp become two tone when they are changend from one water to anoter. 1 art of the fish is the colour it grew to blend in the last water. Then the second is the second water. Its usally caused thought illegal stocking :mad:

[Waterman]

Could it not simply be that the tench is blind and simply keeps bumping into things

 

It was a perfectly sensible dicussion until now.

There's always one
