'Bazil' found dead.

[Guest Gaffer]

Very Sad news, Ian Welch has announced on the RMC site that Bazil (who resides in Yateley's North Lake) was found dead this morning.

That's terrible news for the carp angling fraternity.

 

Can I respectfully ask, at this point, that those who don't share the same feeling of loss that others do please keep their 'digs' to themselves. I really do not want a repeat of the arguments seen here before when Mary died.

 

Live and let live....

 

Tight lines,

Not a carp angler, I'd heard of Mary but not of Bazil.

 

How big was he?

[Guest RobStubbs]

That is sad news - as it was when Mary died. I think Basil was in the high 40's (48 or 49lb ?). It must be heartbreaking for those fishing Yately.

Bazil was one carp I wouldn't have minded catching. Rob Maylin wrote a book called 'Bazil's bush' (I think I got that right, I am sure Ian or someone will correct me if I am wrong.)

 

Bazil's 'was' Yateley North lake as Mary 'was' Wraysbury and Heather 'is' The Car Park lake.

 

Other fish will one day take their place in the record books that is certain.

 

Once again it is a sad loss to carp angling another great fish gone to that great lake in the sky.

This is very sad news indeed.

 

Bazil was probably the best looking big carp in the country.

 

RIP
