Page 7 of today's Telegraph carries two pics and story of a couple of big carp. The biggest was 88 lb 6 oz which is claimed as a world record.

The captor, Graham Slaughter, also had a 69 lb common the same session.

 

They were caught at Rainbow Lake, Bordeaux, France.

 

Apparently after his catching these two fish, his mates chucked him in the lake :D

Here is a link to the sun online site which has an article about it...

nice catch well done to the guy.i expect that most of the big carp are caught by british anglers,because its mainly the british who target them.

dont forget that in many places they are vermin,or at best a nuisance fish.

cheers dave(i like catching them)

tha! in america thats called a livebait :D;)

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

 

Mathew 4:19

Grangers law : anything i say will  turn out the opposite or not happen at all!

Am i the only one who hates the sight of the gut hanging down off these big carp? Sure, its a massive fish, but its not exactly a healthy looking specimen.

 

Almost like saying that you admire those fat *stards who cruise around your local town on their electric trolleys - should they be considered great specimens of humanity?

 

Boily-fed or burger-fed: its all the same to me!
