New British Carp Record?
The British Carp Record may have been broken in the last few days.
“Two Tone” has been caught by “Little” John Bird at a massive 67lb. Although the scales have yet to be checked by Weights and Measures”, the weight eclipses the previous best (Two Tone again, caught by Simon Bater) of 65lb 14oz.
John took the massive mirror carp at Conningbrook using a snowman hookbait on a John McAllister Rig with a Size 6 Mk2 Stiffrigger hook, 15lb JRC Coated Hooklink and JRC Leadcore. The winning bait was an 18mm Winter Seed Mix and a 16mm Essential Baits Cranberry Popup.
John has been fishing Conningbrook for 8 years and has captured 25 different carp from the water. Conningbrook is a tough water when you consider that no carp had come out of the water since October 2007. But John’s patience paid off with the cature of “Two Tone”.
