This does seem to be quite a common line of thought that wildies where long thin commons that never reached huge weights and only selective breeding made them bigger. I heard that Mirrors where selectively bred to have less scales to make them easier to prepare for the table
but I do not know for sure.
The thing that I have trouble getting my head round on this Wildie issue is that There are some European waters that probably fit the same criteria as the one Rob mentions for his water in the North i.e rarely if ever messed with but they still produce absolutely massive fish. I think the race of the Carp itself plays a huge role in the potential size it can attain. I am not convinced that all the original Carp where sleek streamlined Chub like Wildies but I am keeping an open mind.
