It just bugs me Yonny, but only because I have witnessed a series of complete liars doing this in Ringwood over the years with a variety of fish species. It is more the fact that they are spending time videoing a fish and making a statement about what it might weigh. If you don't care what it weighs, don't mention it - that's my point. I don't weigh everything, especially if they are less than about 15lb or so.
Just a personal pet hate of mine, that's all.

I'll add something else into the carp room 101 (not sure how relevant to the thread it is but definitely irritates me)...
The words “not usually one for the orientals” accompanying any picture of a koi. Usually photographed in high quality, both sides including water shots. Not one for orientals... or just trying to keep up with a trend? Be proud of captures that you're proud of... don't devalue a capture just to follow a trend.
See it a lot with recaptures also. “Unfortunately a recapture” - well why have you sacked it up and got a mate down to do you some pictures? People need to start being more overtly pleased with captures... after all the memories and a catch pic is all we're left with.

Its a known fact that God had nothing to do with Yorkshire . . .why do all its inhabitants believe that? Most of it is vast, open, mossy and miserable and the carp are gudgeon sized . . .plus they all live in terraces . . .and order 'bits' from the chippy . . .

How to be a tyke. "Hear all, see all, say nowt." " Eat all, drink all, pay nowt." A happy go lucky bunch.

If someone not weighing a fish annoys you. How about this. I know of a guy on one of my waters who doesn't even lift them out if they look under forty. Just unhooks them in the net and sends them on their way. Now that pickles my brain cos it's not even an easy lake. After weeks of blanks I'd at least want to see what I'd hooked.
I've watched a couple of these new TA videos so far. I've enjoyed both. The birch grove one shocked me at what a small round bowl it really is. After all the years of reading stories in carp world I expected something different. Pretty little water though and it looked mega at that time of year.
Won't be watching Nick the Pest. No interest.

It's an odd one isn't it carp fishing. I used to be obsessed with getting my photos spot on and have albums going back many years, all put together with a great deal of love. The last ten years though I haven't bothered, just lost interest with that side of it and the weights too, I'm really not that bothered even with the big ones. That's not to say i have lost interested in carp fishing, far from it, but it's the hunt that I enjoy, perhaps more than the end result!
