Yo, been a while since I posted up, but I thought I`d send this to you for viewing. Less than a stones throw from my house. Cheers< 66 pound fisherman lands 53 pound fish Fish was caught in a gravel pit near Cincinnati It was the struggle of his lifetime, but when it was over, an eight-year-old Clark County boy had quite a fish tale to tell. after reeling in a 53 pound catch. Josh Cobb, who weights just 66 pounds himself, worked for more than 10 minutes to reel in a 53 pound carp last weekend while fishing in a gravel pit in Newtown, Ohio, near Cincinnati. "It pulled about 20 times harder than a cat fish, " said Josh, who is already an experienced fisherman. "I thought my dad was going to go crazy." His proud father, Dan Cobb, explained how it happened. "My son's floater went down, and I said there it goes, there it goes. He went over and hooked into it, next thing I know, he said, 'Dad it's pulling me, it's taking all my line.'" The father and son team usually catch and release, but not this time. "I had no idea what we had." said Dan. "All I knew was we had to get pictures of it with my son." At first they thouht it might be a record catch, but later learned what they landed was a Grass Carp. The Ohio Division of Wildlife does not keep records on Grass Carp catches, but said if this had been a common carp, it would have broken the state record of 50 pounds, set in 1967. "It does not count, but it's still a great catch for an eight-year-old," said wildlife biologist Debbie Walters. Walters said grass carp can typically weigh up to 100 pounds.

Across the pond here in the states, my preference is Shimano also. Cheers

Your right PETER, we do have sheep, but they are to small for the "average" YANK. We like them pretty blue eyed angus & charolais...LMAORONAN
