>>984413Sad to think that the 82cm Carp was the most exciting fish I have ever landed fight wise, had to ease off the drag so much because of nearby snags and light ass line but damn it was fun, got him a few times within a metre from the shore, friend with a landing net at the ready only for it to shit itself and peel off another 50 metres of line. Snags to the left and right of where I was and that fucker kept heading for them, was a miracle I landed it. If you ever get bored of fishing your local area try using an extremely lightweight setup, all those fish you skulldrag in on your expensive shit with 30lb braid suddenly become a force to reckon with.
