I hooked into a fish tonight and literally just reeled it in as if it was a 4oz roach. When I came to net it I saw it was a barbel which by the length of it should of been around the 5lb mark but it was incredibly thin. After it's head it's body just went in and it was just like it was hollow with loads of excess skin if that makes sense. Couldn't of weighed more than 2lb. It's bum looked like a chimps bum kind of sticking out again if that makes sense.
I slipped it back but you could tell it was on its last legs.
Is there any diseases that affect them?
Should I have maybe called ea?
My thought was maybe it had been deep hooked at some point and someone had cut the line and the hook is stopping it feeding.
Any thoughts?
