Big 'nuisance' carp to Mark Barrett!

[Steve Burke]

Many, many congratulations, Mark! This is one of the most impressive catches I've heard of for a long time.

 

I suppose you've had enough of these easy specimen carp now.....

[Peter Waller]

It takes a good piker to show these carp boys how to do it. Didn't Martin Gay do something similar?

 

I think its brillient Mark, I really do. Deadbait steaks for months!!

[Dick Dastardly]

peter you're evil, i thought there was going to be a "non" baiting amnesty after some of the recent threads for at least a week!

 

Mark, well done, tell us which mag it is in and when and I might even buy a copy.

Congratulations Mark.

[Rob Ward]

Sounds like a Peach of a fish Mark, pleased for you mate!

[mark barrett]

thanks everyone for all your congratulations, it was as much a shock to me as anyone else, and of course luck plays a huge part in the capture, but as you can imagine i am still descending from cloud nine.

 

as for the mags its going to be in, well all the weeklies have been sent the story, hence why i was actually trying to keep the story quiet as they have been very helpfull to me so didnt want to steal their exclusive in any way.

 

it will also be in the EDP (eastern daily press) and Cambridge evening news.

 

thanks again guys from one very lucky part time carper!

we still dont the know the whole story(roll on the morning) and i wanna see this beast i bet it will look small with you holding it mark! hehe

yes fenboy this is true,i think if some one else cathces her again they will probably name her,and yes it probably will be something along the lines of "no-name".sahme really i thought "virgin mary" was a good one!
