Well done Digger,a Carp on Tench gear is always a bit nerve racking.I once had three in an afternoon including one of 20lb exactly on my B,James KP.The rod was fine but I was a wreck! :Hat:

Stunning fish and one which will stay fresh in the memories for some time being emphasised by the tackle it was caught on.
Well done :Hat:

Any size carp from a river which are rarely caught has got to be an achievement and to be caught on such a sporting outfit is even better. :Hat:

Aren't surprises wonderful ? Glad the rod survived the encounter. Well done, Sir.
