One of my targets every year is a 20lb carp - for the past few years this had been achieved early in the season on the Tench gear and this year is no exeption.

The same gear used as in my crystal water thread - infact the same peg so it was just a case of cast in and sit back.

A classic bait of Bread flake was the bait choice for this short session fished over a small handfullm of 4mm pellet.

Warm wind, heavy showers, bright sun, heavy showers was the weather pattern and there was plenty of activity going on.

I took about half an hour for the waggler to disapear - just after another member had been to have a chat - he had fished peg next door in the morning and missed the only two bites he had had.

The rod arked round into a powerfull curve and the fish took line from the perfectly set clutch which sang me that tune that gets the adrenilen bubbling. It was one of them moments when you know you have a big powerfull fish on.

A thrilling ten minute battle that saw the fish go for every snag in the peg and escape the net twice powering away taking more line from the clutch, what a fight. When I eventually managed to get her in the net I knew a 20 was possible and once on the unhooking mat knew I had one.

The avons were zeroed then pulled round to 22lb 6oz by an almost immaculate apart from a small head wound Mirror carp which has double my carp tally this year and trippled it over two years from this water.

Well done Rudd. Sounds like a heck of a scrap and you did very well to get it in on light 'tench' gear. Sounds like a cracking fish. Any pics?

Nice one Rudd and well done on getting it on Tench gear, it's always more sporting and has that added level of excitement.
