Fully scaled mirror for me

Any type of mirror carp
Hadn't caught one for 2/3 years as all I'd caught have been commons(there's supposed to be 2 or more mirrors in the public lake I fish) as they are the dominate carp in my lake although my pb is a common of 32lb I'd love a 30 plus mirror,fished a runs water few months back just to get a bend in rod and had 13 carp and 4 of them were mirrors rest were commons

We talking specific fish?
Both gone now but my favorite ever common is the Tatton Park Common and mirror has to be Bazil.
Some mega pictures of that common, grew so big while remaining in proportion and immaculate condition, even bigger challenge catching it, those that did mostly had to risk a lot.
As for Bazil, that was the quintessential carp, just perfect.
Currently, I really couldn't choose, Burghfield Common has to be in the mix

Which ever one is in the bottom of my net is my favourite at that time!! I have a favourite capture but can't say I have a favourite carp

I think it needed to be a little clearer that's all I took it as do I prefer mirrors or commons or fully scaled or even leathers,is it actually favourite carp actually alive right now.
If that's the case then it's mozza's fully from manor farm Hampshire incredible looking carp and apparently a very young fish

There's a perfect linear in Furzebray that's right up there imo,
I saw it on the bank a few years ago now (1 swim away from my target lol. so near yet so far...)
Then
You have the big common at waterside that's got a nice shape and colour to it.
the answer will be subjective.

There's a few special ones swimming about in the valley that I wouldn't mind meeting one day, but my all time favourite carp was The Woodcarving from Horton.
Thought the black mirror would get a few mentions

25lb dark perfect shaped common would be my choice for happiness.

I did think that but I'm not sure he meant alive right now as post is a little unclear

The Football Lin.
One of the most unique and beautiful carp about today, and lives in a sub £150 club lake. Because it isn't 50lb, it would barely see the light of day. The more fish like that the better IMO.
