Glorious 16th June ( and 19th, lol )

[Fiesta Steve]

Speaking as someone who hasnt been fishing in a bout 15 years and never caught anything anyway (I think its the oil and marine diesel floating in our local lake that puts the fish off)

 

But I didnt really realise that there were such large fish swimming around in our rivers and lakes. I kind of thought that 12-18" would be a big one

 

25lb is a good size but by far not the biggest in our British waters.

 

This Carp is the biggest in the country @ 67 lb and is coincidentally from Ashford in Kent;

 

 

The picture doesn't do the fish justice, if you could see the width of the fish across the back you'd think you could put a saddle on it and ride it !!!
