It was my 1st double figure. 10lb 14. Less than a week later I beat it (other pic in gallery) with a 12lb 5. That one really put up a fight.
Quite pleased really because the carp in that small lake only go up to 16-18lb so I'm told and there is only 1 or 2 of them that big.
They only tend to get caught once in a blue moon.
Well done....a superb looking carp, looks like in mint condition......btw if it is your bivvy in the background, can you please tell me where you got it from ;-)........I would like one lol
