This is a nice specimen of a comman carp landed at Trow (over 15 lb). I've shown the main visible features apart from the obvious things like eyes and scales. So the next time you land a carp lookout for them. A carp that needs to be lifted with two hands must be treated with care and the next page shows the correct way to hold such a large fish.
