Depends where you hooked the fish.......allso what type of pit the live in........gravel pit carp almost never have them, because of the amount of hard & sharp debris that they hoover up all day.

On the other hand, carp that live in old sand or clay pit can often have them, as, depending on what way they feed, they may only ever get lip hooked.

 

If the carps a tipper instead of a sucker, bang, allways in the lip

In the roof of its mouth there is a flap of skin. After a few captures it becomes damaged and disapears along with its barbels and the sides of its mouth.
