Nice Report !!
Although i'm not sure weather or not you consider Carp a Game fish ( i do ) I'd like to stress Proper Handling and care for them. Please don't cary them by the gills unless you plan on killing them any way. Grasp the bottom of there head in one hand and tail in another... A lot of the carp you catch in this river are there first time being caught and first time their actually feeling there actual body weight since there lighter in the water so keep them close to the ground and grasp them this is a must for bigger carp especially.
On a lighter note Congratulations and more success And also on the wonderful pictures !!
