Dave Hutton from Seaview (Isle Of Wight, South East) reported this 21lbs 4oz Mirror Carp from Merston, Isle of Wight (South East) on Saturday 19th April 2003.

My own (Fresh / frozen boilies). Hand rolled and steamed not bioled.

Captor’s Comments:

Just for a change I thought that I would use some of my old gear so out came the Chapman's 500 Rod Centre Pin reel. The Fish was caught using a size 8 hook on a Blow back Rig and hand rolled bait.

People say that I look misrable in my photo's (the fish is the star and as you can see she has got a smile on her face) She know's that I will put her in a carp cot and put some clinik on that sore spot and treat her like a new born baby.And me I'm just over the Moon when they give me a wave from there tail as they swim away.
