The carp fought valiantly!

Hooking a carp is like tying onto a Mack 18-wheeler; this fish darted back and forth, testing my patience and skill. Each twist and pull gave me a newfound respect for the highly underrated carp, known for its strength and agility. Finally, when I carefully brought it to the net, I couldn’t help but admire its golden scales glistening in the shadowy early morning sunlight.
