HUGE can only be the word used to describe Steve’s Common Carp, weighing in at 44lb!
The monster was caught at Waveney Valley Lakes, and a lovely touch to the story is the fishery Manager, Dave Potter said he thought the fish had died or had been poached as it had not been caught for sometime. I have had spirited fights from Carp at 5lb, so I can understand why it would have taken 30mins to land it.
Apparently the fish was caught on a Nash boilie in the Yew Tree Lake. My personal best Common Carp is 5lb at the moment, and I am more than happy with that! But you never know…
Don’t forget Waveney Valley Lakes is a great fishing holiday destination!
