| I have not yet caught a Carp over 20lb, my largest is a 15 lb common caught on a cold March night at Brasenose1 lake on the linear fisheries complex, caught on a single piece of pepperami and an artificial corn to lift it slightly. | |

| My biggest UK carp a linear, was just shy 2oz of 20lb, that was also from Brasnose1. Bait was a snowman pineapple boilie.
My PB carp so far is 37lb10oz caught in France last year, caught on 2 artificial pop up sweetcorn, over a bed of maize and sweetcorn. I hope to beat my PB in a few weeks when we are off to France again. | |

| Some nice looking fish there.....Well done all. My biggest fish, caught at Ribiere near Limoges, France, is a 40lb12oz Mirror. Had a cracking weekend at Milton Pools a few years ago when I did my UK PB twice. 25lb8oz Mirror and a 29lb10oz Common. The Common was caught free lining luncheon meat in a hole in weed about 3ft off the bank. The fish that gave me the most pleasure was a 13lb Mirror caught on Trench Pool in Telford.This fish was a result of just over 1 year on that water and cost me an absolute fortune.....lol. Last but not least, very recently, at a social on a syndicate water, my very first Pike which PL estimated at around the 8 or 9lb mark, not that the size was of any consequence. My biggest UK fish will be caught later this year on the syndicate water and will be a 30+ | |
