for what half an hour something like that if that if that yeah it's the uh we're on a syndicate lake

in the cotswolds and um ironically they're the first two fish out since well this year so

amazing yeah absolutely mate blown away I couldn't believe I was going to get a chance but to get two

as well and they both both nice fish as well weren't they was a 27 and a 23 something mate the colours on

them are just divine aren't they they they got that lovely red hue on their belly.

Yeah.

And you can tell an overwintered carp, I don't know why,

because they haven't been eating much

and you'd like to think they're just on tick over, almost hibernating.

But when they get caught, they look in their prime, don't they?

They do.

There's something about a late winter carp that when you look at it, you think it hasn't been

caught for a long time.

Maybe it hasn't had the rituals of spawning where they get a bit battered and a little bit

sort of under the weather.

They look like they've been through the ringer at times, sometimes after spring,

didn't they?
