Managed to bag this recently, there's two in there and this is the bigger of them, my son very nearly caught it a few months ago in the heat.

that is a strange colour for a Common. I have never in all my years seen one that looked as 'orange' like that.

If you need to eat then fishing is a great way of hunting. However to catch a carp only to throw it straight back is like a fool, waiting for another fool to bite the bait. I’ll never be hooked on Fishing.

You obviously never tried to catch Carp, or most fish in fact! It`s called fishing because it isn`t easy to catch these things! There is a lot of skill and patience involved otherwise it would be called catching!
I would challenge you to watch Bob and Paul go fishing on Channel 4 and then you might realise there is so much more to fishing than landing fish. Nature, being out in nature, peace, quiet and time for contemplation.
You realise there are people out there who moan and decry cycling being shown on tv during the TDF!
I`ll never be "hooked" on dancing but I wouldn`t try to talk MrsC from watching Strictly come dancing! Each to his/ her own I say.
