Steve Burke 177 Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) The most-coveted fish in the Carp Lake has just come out after 2 years at 49-06. It was caught close in by Rob Burrage who just 3 weeks ago beat the Wingham record with a 54-12. It looks as though Wingham could well hold 3 English 50s by next Spring!

River Rover 0 Posted January 8, 2015 That is a truly stunning fish. That dark back is beautiful and what a rudder! We had a fully scaled in a lake I fished for many years that was a beauty. I never did catch it for myself. Congratulations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poledark 50 Posted January 11, 2015 That is a thing of awesome beauty well done Rob, Den "When through the woods and forest glades I wanderAnd hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur,And hear the brook, and feel the breeze;and see the waves crash on the shore,Then sings my soul.................. for all you Spodders. https://youtu.be/XYxsY-FbSic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phone 523 Posted February 1, 2015 Steve, Does this fish have a recorded lineage with EA? (or for that matter, your personal records) Phone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Burke 177 Posted February 2, 2015 The EA don't keep records like that. However I've details of all the stockings plus pics of this fish as it grew up over the years from its stocking as a 3 year old. It's got a sibling that has a very similar scale pattern that hasn't been caught for quite a few years, that weighed a few pounds less. In fact there's several pics on the latest news page on the Wingham web site, including one from 2001. See http://www.anglersnet.co.uk/fisheries/wingnews.htm. The weight's not shown but I could look it up when I've more time - I'm very busy dealing with membership renewals now.
