EXCLUSIVE
margin rod ripped off and I was
into what felt like a good fish. I
was soon looking at a monster
common carp in the bottom
of my net. Steve the owner
came round straight away and
identified it as the biggest
common in the lake, one called
‘The Christmas common’ and
she pulled the scales round to
46Lb on the nose.
A few hours later I saw one
show over the open water spot
and less than five minutes later
I received a steady take. Again,
it felt like a very good fish. This
BigCarp 88
was confirmed as it rolled over
the cord and my most wanted
carp was led in the bottom of
my net. It was one called ‘The
Carving’ and it pulled the scales
round to 48Lb 1oz. I was at total
disbelief! I had really felt like I
was struggling this trip but one
thing that I always tell myself
is that you’re only a bite or two
away from having the session
of a lifetime. There is such a
fine line between blanking or
having a very special fish on
this venue which contains 35
fish total.
