I cant believe the head on it, the face looks menacing

Catching this at night would give me the willies :lol:

 

Great fish and one in a lifetime :)

It certainly hit a couple of branches on the way out of the ugly tree, still looks good in my 18 inch by 12 inch blown up photo though

i found this little cute fella, i think he look wicked, and i think it will be a must have fish in 5-10 year from now:

 

 

Its funny but last year someone gave me 16 small carp that size for my new pond and 2 of them where ghosties but i didnt have time to set up a long term solution to keep the heron off so i just put some small stakes around the outside and put fishing line around them as i know this works .

But i went to look closely the other day at the pond and found the line snapped :o , and because the water is to murky to see any fish i decided the best way was to fish for them to see if there was any life left :rolleyes:

After no movement after an hour i feared id let them down and theyd been eaten so i left the float rig and bait in the water attached to the top kit of my pole and made a cup of tea and later went out to pack up and couldnt see the float so i lifted and to my amasement out popped one of the ghosties exactly like the one your holding, so i thought well at least one of them has survived , but after that ive had 5 different koi and 3 mirrors and 1 common and ive every faith that the rest are ok too :D

i got to admit fellas this is not my carp, i wish it was i wish i could put him in a tank, but i took thi photo off a fih farm site, that one is worth a fortune though, but i thought i would share how beautifull it was too look at

rumour has it that there are bigger ghosties in the lake with the largest coming in just past 25lb
