I knew it was a big fish when I finally managed to get her in
my net. I put my head torch on and saw a big fish known as
the Emperor. I know this fish does mid 40, so I was absolutely
buzzing. This was a fish I’d seen in pictures, and I thought I’d love
to catch her. After doing a few pictures, we put her on the scales
and were blown away! She went 45lb 10oz! I couldn’t believe my
luck on a quick overnighter! A massive thanks goes to Charlie
and Chris who own Fryerning’s for doing such an amazing job
and giving people like me the opportunity to catch such stunning
carp, and Mainline for bringing out such good b a it .
