On Monday i fished in the evenning at a local pool and had a few small Mirror & Common Carp out.
I found it amazing how different 2 fish could be when they were almost the same weight and both were Commons.
I know that no 2 Mirrors look alike with their different scale patterns.
And some Carp are long and lean whilst others are more like a Rugby ball.
But it was the shape of the heads on the 2 Common Carp below which made me look twice at the second one.
Standard healthy sleak looking Common weighing 4lb 7oz
Strange looking headed Common weighing 4lb 12oz
Anyone got any ideas as to why the head on the second fish is so down turned ??
And looks as if it was added to the fish as an after though ??
