Am I the only one ?
that finds this FASHION to kiss the fish before putting it back silly ? I just dont get it kising a slimey fish what are you trying to prove ?
I love Carp and treat them as good as I possibly can but dont see any benefit to the fish or me to kiss it
EDIT only one makes me smile is Mortimer & whitehouse AND AWAY !!!
I confess the last time I released a fish I caught I said it in my head

Nope I'm with you on that one Gerry, i have lived and breathed carp fishing for over 35 years now and can honestly say I've never kissed a carp nor will i ever, knowing my luck i would probably catch something nasty like a bacterial infection anyway

It is absolute nonsense, the same as chucking water over someone who has caught a PB.
If this means I am a miserable old B$£"st*rd, so be it !

Blame rex hunt.
Can't say I've ever seen it done in real life, it's just a social media/TV thing, I hope?

Not just you - never done it, never will.
Never wanted water chucked over me neither.

‘Bucketing' and filming takes have got to be some of the worst trends of modern times

Unless I'm on fire, anyone who throws a bucket of water over me better have a good dentist.

Thing is gerry, unlike you and I, there are some fugly anglers out there and a captive carp is the only action they're getting...

Seems like the perfect way to catch Weils disease to me, the ones who do these strange things should read Kens post, they will think twice next time.

I think this is one of the most stupid things ever aswell if I'm honest, so dangerous aswell especially when doing it with a big carp in your hands. Tom maker called it out saying you can drop the fish when doing it and I agree
