Well i thought it was an achievement.....

The captors coming in for some love on The Harrison rods FB page..

Why all the hate I don't no.. Home grown biggie takes the record. What's not to love. Caught on a propa carp rod as well.. 2.3/4lb test...

Yes just seen that.. that's at least three times in the past month..

Roll up roll up, hook a 60....

Seriously well done anyone who willing to put in the time effort and money to have a gi for that fish. Well deserved capture to anyone fortunate enough to catch it..

It's unfortunate that this fish is getting so much attention and pressure.
Can't be good in the long term.

Not really, it's an open access venue that anyone can book. No bidding involved

I did have a Google.
Open, but still a fair price to be in the lottery.
No doubt many of these sponsored high profile anglers will have their company funding their sessions.
LINKY POO™ https://www.watersidefishery.com/

The prices are per night not per person this can be up to ten anglers and prices are as follows:-Lake exclusive prices:- Sunday morning to Friday morning - £240 (2025 £250) Friday to Sunday morning £730 per weekend Full week for Friday to Friday is £1650 (2025 £1700)

It's not that bad really, I've done it a couple of times and I'm by not means well off, just a normal working man. Its on par with most exclusive booking venues
