Just seen this on carp feed. Whatever you think to the venue fair play to the lad for landing that on his own

Sorry I can't do a proper link

it's all relative I guess.

At today years old I would go absolutely bananas landing a 6lb Chub. Many wouldn't even try to land it.

Whatever you think about the Carp, the captors a kid and he must be over the moon, well done that lad

Plenty of time to burden him with the s@@t we adults think later in life

How can you put The Manor, The Rise and The Mill in the same category as Holme Fen? Nothing alike.

What 30 plus 40's in The Manor in 5 to 6 acres, give me a break. Fish in a barrel much? The Mill is just as ridiculous stock wise, Bernies is 700 fish in it with a mental amount of 30's. Blokes catch these fish and act like literal hero's. Lol.

Holme Fen:

And to quote "26 acres with 80+ fish over 40lb with maybe 40 over 50lb".

Wrasbury has gone up the gary glitter, a gorrilion fish dumped in it soon to make massive weights. Like I said, the absolute state of carp fishing.

Au natural

Forget carpfishing as you know it's all about the £££££££££'s and a lot of sad ****s trying to be famous from it
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
