World Carp Record Goes Again

THE world carp record has been smashed by a colossal mirror weighing 87lb 2oz.
It fell to English angler Gary Hagues during a holiday to French mecca Rainbow Lakes.
Just 12 months ago, Hagues hit the headlines when he caught the same fish at a then world best of 83lb 8oz.
More in next Tuesday's Angling Times.

Big South Wales Barbel

THIS impressive 13lb 10oz barbel proves the species’ potential in Wales – it was caught by Carl Jones owner of Cefn Coed Tackle near Merthyr Tydfil in south Wales.
Carl (38) was targeting a local stretch of the River Taff with a legered boilie hoobait when he caught the specimen, plus another weighing 10lb 9oz specimen.
He beat the fish on 8lb line and a size 12 Drennan Super Specialist Barbel hook.

Three year wait produces first 'twenty'

Record holder banks 20 lb pike

BRITISH record dace holder Simon Ashton targeted a North Yorkshire Stillwater to catch this 20lb pike.
Durham-based Simon returned to the venue after having a pleasure session back in April interrupted by the big predator which snatched a 2lb-plus rudd and a 3lb tench off his line.
The fish weighed 17lb in spring – he caught it on a small livebait – and it once again fell to a rudd livebait, fished on a paternostered float set-up, during his latest visit.
