this last 2 weeks the carp fishing has been great but they have been a bit lively in the net
I usually unhook mine by holding the net between my knees
I caught a 10lb plus fish that flipped from head to tail about 10 times - this was after a very good fight
when playing carp I try to lead them in by holding the tip of my rod in the water
the other week one flipped and embedded the hook quite badly into my finger
I tried using forceps to unhook but that only weakens the hook
disgorger is better but still awkward
I use quite a big landing net
I do have an unhooking mat
Other than not fishing - any recommendations ( or not fishing for carp )
