First Carp
This is my first Carp caught in 1979,quite a fish when your catches mainly consisted of Minows,Gudgeon and the occasional Roach or Dace.So it was taken home and put into our newly constucted garden pond where it has been for the last 35 years.
There are three things that improve with age: wine, friendship and water sense, and there's no short cut.

Brilliant! I suspect it has a nice time in the pond as it's 35 years would suggest.

Re: First Carp
Its quite amazing that it has survived 35 years in a garden pond. 
There is no peace on earth like the peace of fishing in the early mornings
