You've probably caught the same fish twice and never known it.
Carp carry their ID on their flank. A mirror's plates stay where they are, and even a fully scaled common has its tells, an odd scale, a nicked fin, the shape of its tail. A Glasgow study had people match photos of the same carp by their scale pattern, and they got it right 96 times out of 100. Five fish from Carrouge and Lepinet here, and not one of them looks like another.
What's the one mark that tells you it's your target fish? Send this to the mate who swears they'd know theirs anywhere.
