In Pictures: Czech Republic's traditional Carp haul

The traditional Carp haul in the Czech Republic takes place once a year in the autum period, primarily in the region of southern Bohemian lakes. Carps are kept alive until they can be sold 3-4 days before Christmas on December 24, where they are often eaten during Christmas Eve dinner.
