How often these days do we look through the weekly fishing mags only to find rows and rows of photographs of carp with suspect claims to their weights?
I'm not going to mention names nor particular magazines - because, quite frankly, I don't think I need to! Anyone wishing to take the time to compare can see it for them selves. For instance, there could be a deep bellied mirror weighing in at around 28 & 1/2 lb and seemingly genuinely weighing that much. Next to it there is another mirror supposedly weighing in at 27 & 3/4 lb - to me the second fish is no where near the previous one in terms of weight! How can there only be 3/4lb?? Why should this be allowed? Is no-one checking these weights, or are my eyes decieving me? I don't think so!
