Remember the discussion we had about barbel, keepnets and landing nets and the possible damage to dorsal fins?
Not long after I caught this fish and was very careful when lifting it in the landing net, yet it still got its fin trapped in the mesh.
I was using a landing net specifically designed for barbel too.
On closer inspection it was obvious the fin had been split a long time ago and healed. Yet in the years I've fished this stretch I have NEVER seen a keepnet used.
