Just one thing to add, never ever stand up whilst holding a carp ! I have seen people do this on my fishery and it is beyond belief. It is just lack of thought, but if you are standing up with a carp in your arms and the fish starts to thrash, it is likely that you will drop the carp, and this can have very serious consequences. The minimum will be damage to the body of the fish but more serious damage such as broken fins can occur, and it is possible that it may even lead to death of the fish - please do not ever stand up whilst holding a carp !
