The damage to the Coppice lake carp mouths happened the year after the BAA bought the lake. All carp in the first year were immaculate.
Personally I don't think it has any thing to do with hook sizes, barbed or barbless hooks but the size of line breaking strain used by anglers ( witnessed myself people dragging them in across the surface several times and also the thickness of discarded line left lying about on the bank )
Perhaps certain people need to have a fish care course of some kind? For me the great thing about fishing is using a suitable breaking strain of line and playing fish for as long as it takes to bank ie if they wanna run let em!
