On Thursday 27th April at 11pm Paul Goodman landed this huge mirror at just under 70lb from the Angling Lines Laroussi lake in France. At exactly 69lb 8oz, Paul broke the previous lake record from last October of 65lb.
Paul was a very happy chappy…he broke his pb 3 times – 34lb 8oz, 42lb 8oz and 69lb 8oz. He also had his pb Sturgeon at 62lb! Successful method was a pop-up over a big bed of boilies, partiblend, pellets and groundbait.
The lake owner Mehdi informs us there are 2 other known fish that have always come out bigger than this one – so we can probably expect one or two 70’s any day now.
Paul’s catches were followed up a week later by a 58lb 4oz, 57lb 12oz & 3 x forties to the next group of anglers on Laroussi… whilst the anglers on Mehdi’s other lake, Old Oaks, also experienced fast & furious action with a 46 fish haul to 5 anglers including 8 x 30’s & 31 x 20’s.
