Carp Fishing France April 2023: Part 3 Alps Lake

The final part of our April trip. Two day sessions on a lake in the Alps and the biggest carp caught of the trip. One last go on the canal hotspot before we get the crossing

That's right.....rest the carp on its belly where all it's vitals are.....and keep your watch on whilst handling a lively fish. ☹️

Thank you for your comment, I take fish safety very seriously. I will consider carefully your point re. fish position on the mat. In an upright position, if only temporarily, their energy isn't being used flapping hard - head and tail - against the mat, with the potential to cause impact damage. However, if you have specialist advice you can point me to that contradicts this then I will review and change my handling approach as necessary. Bw, Scott

I chose this watch because it has no sharp edges
