Not entirely sure what's gone on or what I've missed.

Freemasons, second ever night on the famous Kent venue. Went there to get a bite, after long runs of blanks on the Ocean.

Because photo's of carp upset these joeys so much, we'll have two today. Roach Pit 2013 again. Part of a brace of mid 40's.

The linear, 45lb something here. Two photographs there, that have never been shown publicly before. Numerous cameras taking photos. Some with flash, some without.

James, Thames died for me in 2017 with that biggun (publicly anyway).

I caught this particular fish three times during a four month period in 2017.

This fish very likely used to swim around in the same little gang as the famous monster carp from Sonning 'The Eye' many, many moons ago. That fish got its name, not from the lake (Sonning Eye)... But from the eye parasite which had completely eaten away one of its eyes on one side. This fish below is a lake escapee originally, not a spawned in the river original. This Thames 32lber, plus a few other very old fish I caught from the same area that year were all affected by the exact same eye parasite. It only has this eye. The other side is hideous. Completely blown out. It's only passed by contact I was told. I've caught fish the length of the river Thames, but only blown out eyes from this one little group of carp (plus a couple of bream) in the exact same area. Never seen it anywhere else. 'The Eye' was originally a Thames carp 100%, like all of the fish in Sonning Eye, old and new. At one time decades ago, that famous old fish clearly swam around in the exact same little gang of big Thames carp as this fish here in the river.

When people talk of the Eye and the others all being 'lost' to the Thames in floods.... They just returned home really.

That's a cracker of a fish.

Darren, very first time using our hook baits. Baby Barbless from Johnsons Railway. One of the oldest carp in the country now by some stretch. This fish was in the Railway, when the famous old Yateley carp were still swimming around just down the road in Kent.

Not caught for more than a year. GPB2 pop up.

Forum member Kev, Long lake syndicate in Reading. All these three yesterday within a few hours. Brace of mid 30's and a 29lb+. GPB2 13mm balanced. Top one had not been banked for a year. Only caught 7 times total in last 9 years. He also had a 21lb common and 18lb mirror before these. Well done Kev.

I always think I'm doing the hemp wrong as I don't think it's that disgusting. Or everyone else are just lightweights.

Mind you, most don't roll their own these days so have never smelt some of the old fishy flavours........

Cam you repost the garlic hemp method please? Cheers Matt
