Big clanger... What is fact or speculation about the capture ? good fair angling or blatant catch at all costs p*ss take.
I would believe your mate who is a Burghfield syndicate member as he was there, say it was caught off an out of bounds island.
and yet Jez said on post 85 is saying it was caught in a legit fishing area and without a bait boat.
Can someone who was there, verify this for the benefit of this post ?

Surely they would have been kicking off before he'd actually caught it if they were that bothered about him fishing somewhere he shouldn't? If they've let him be then they can't really complain imo

Who's to say they didn't? Surely someone would have seen him?

Maybe, maybe not..... Time will tell, hopefully more Burghfield syndicate members will confirm the circumstances.
In this current climate of carp fishing, to achieve catching your own personal target or best / online social media fame / keep sponsors happy nothing surprises me TBH.

It doesn't matter to me one iota, however what's. the point of having rules if bailiffs aren't bothering to enforce them. Wouldn't happen on my club that's for sure.

The ONLY person he needs to convince is himself and if he can look in the mirror in 20 years time and put his hand on his heart and know he truly deserved it, and it was caught with skill and honesty, no lying, that's it. If there's a tiny bit missing, only he will know that and he has to live with it
See that right there is the problem with carping nowadays Scozza IMO.........just go fishing, forget the lbs and ozs, forget the fishing a swim others don't agree with, just go fishing and enjoy........won't be long before someone has a stroke worrying about he did this, he did that to catch a mud pig!!

Bloody hell
Let's hope we never win the World Cup again if this is the response that we can expect. It's not a proper World Cup because they used VAR / it was penalties / they didn't kick the sh*t out of each other like souness used to.... etc.
If the lad caught the fish safely and it's been returned healthy for others to do the same then fair enough. The fish won't know an out of bounds area from not. They're fish and will eat when and where they can. If some people have decided an island is out of bounds then that's their worry and if they choose to let someone then fish it that's also their worry.
The whole episode does strike me as an opportunist publicity stunt given the recent fence farce, but if the big fish is ok then live and let live. As Said, maybe I'm a bit cynical.
Don't always agree with Wayne, but I'm with him on this - it's just fishing at the end of the day. Enjoy it. It's better than golf ffs

Maybe I'm old fashioned ?
Fair play
respect for the rules or equal treatment of all concerned.

Surely if there was any doubt it will be cleared up by the upcoming vlog / bait adverts / tackle advert / video . Because if I was sponsored by companies I would not want to bring them any negative fallout . Time will tell , but with the carp network and social media I'm surprised the full story is not out there already .
