                                                           And was i happy with that.....

The biggest Carp i have ever caught , It weighed in at just over 12 lbs. I caught it with a fishing reel that is 40 years old an Abu 506 bought when i was 14 years old and a 6 foot telescopic rod bought from lidl's for £5 and 8 lb breaking strain line. It took nearly 15 minutes to land it due to the light tackle i was using, but it was great sport. It took bread on a float just 6 inch's off the bottom of the canal............Now let's see if Carolyn can beat that.

Very happy days
