Will the Anglers Net community be awash with grief or do you find the whole big carp scene a bit of a circus?

Supposed to be a hoax.

It certainly isn't a hoax this time, Rob. There's a little bit about it in the carp forum below.

Two Tone's death is the main topic of conversation on the Cemex Angling Forum Carp Fishing Chat...

 

Apologies to Elton for sending people elsewhere but have a look at the link below. People on the forum are taking the news very seriously...

No need to go over the top SP. A unique fish, and worthy of a little respect, bit as always on AN there will be the usual carp haters.

Most living things are unique and the only sure thing in life is death........

 

I'm sure there will be a bigger one along some time soon.
