It is a rare occurrence but it does happen from time to time and that is when the hook passes through the side of the carps mouth, exposing the point on the outside, the hook then catches in the mesh of the net, and if it is a barbed hook, it can be very difficult to extract the hook from the net. If the carp starts to thrash about in the net, horrendous damage to its mouth can result, this can lead to the line ripping through the corner of the mouth - its horrible ! If you are using barbed hooks and this happens you should immediately cut through your hooklink to prevent this from happening.
