Common carp just ounces off beating pb

THIS 22lb 4oz common carp, caught from Combwich Ponds, nr Bridgewater in Somerset, came within a pound-and-a-half of breaking Ryan Knight’s pb.
The 29-year-old fork lift truck driver, who lives locally, tempted the fish on a Nash Monster Pursuit Plus hookbait which he presented to his mark at 90 yards on a 15lb Mantis Gold hooklink and a size 8 Korda Wide Gape hook.
