Very cheeky picture repair request

A few years ago I posted a damaged picture of a Barbel I caught in 62 and a few really clever people restored it for me
well I know its not a Barbel but it is a Photo that is a great memory of a Pair of Linear carp I caught with a double hook up
Sadly its got damaged it was in a frame and parts of it stuck somehow to the broken glass
if there is a bored talented Adoby ? genius feels like having a go ? by any chance :oops:

Lovely looking carp Gerry.

What year were they caught? I don't know the history of Linear stocking, but they have a Leney look to them?

it was mid 70s cant remember the exact year 75/76 ? I got a BCSG badge on my hat so it was not before 75
my photo albums with records were stolen with camera after I had been to a BCSG meeting and forgot to take the holdall out of the car
these 2 were a double hook up and both landed in the same net !!
this was part of a 5 fish catch in a mad 4 and a half hours
picture was taken by my pal who had to leave for work I said finish the film up there is only about 6 left on it and I will drop it off to get developed on the way home not thinking I would catch any more wrong !!!!!
as I planned leaving at lunch time but it went crazy all 5 fish were like pee`s in a pod all between 24lb and 27lb Taplow gravel Pit Maidenhead Kennel bank swim
