whilst unhooking a carp today it spat out what looked like a tiny perch, maybe an inch long. i've never known of this before, is it common?
aside from that i believe i had a "bagging" session for the first time today, even being modest and underestimating weights i reckon i must have had 50lb of mainly carp with the odd roach and the tiniest gudgeon i've ever seen which somehow managed to swallow an 8mm pellet. all was going well until i hooked into something a tad too large which stripped out all my elastic and snapped me off, hooked in the margin and it took off like a rocket along the bank, anything i could have done?
