This was just a standard boilie, fished off the bottom, using a 30g feeder with crushed up boilies in the mix.
I had just landed a double and then my other rod went crazy.
During the fight I started to think the fight was a bit odd even if it was a larger double.
Finally got him up to the surface and realised he was foul hooked just in front of his pectoral fin.
How would this have happened? Could carpy have just been swimming real close to the bottom?
The hook appeared to have made a cut through his flesh, which left me feeling a bit guilty. However there was no blood, so one possibility is that the cut was already there, giving the hook a place to latch into as he swan by? Also, if the hook had cut his skin then why didn't it just come out at that point?
It was a really good session overall, but I do feel bad I left carpy with a cut
What can I do to avoid foul hooking?
I thought it was mostly when fishing off the surface that it happens?
Was this just bad luck?
