Looks like he caught that thing just after it swallowed a 6 or 7 lb pike...certainly would up the weight in a big hurry...can't wait until that pic makes it back again saying it wabamun or some other local lake...

The article states the fish was released, as supported by the pictures of the handling. Interesting the mentality in England with regards to trophy fish.

If that was here, some hillbilly would have it half eaten already and then he would be posting on here how its better for the lake if its dead.

I don't think that you are that far from the truth WC. Wait for it, it's bound to get crazier.

Ive watched a lot of Brit carp fishing videos, they feed them with slingshots, and even have radio controlled boats to dump fish pellets in areas they fish to draw them in. and fatten them up. they all have names too theyve been caught so many times

Yes, fishing - it is just so sporting, eh chap?

I have seen this too - it is hilarious. They are ponds in parks stocked with everything under the sun.

Cheerio!
