Re: 83 lb carp from Wingham

Usual comments jumping to conclusions and ridiculous statement about being poisoned by boiled paste baits.
The fish was landed from the main lake, not the carp lake. There is very limited carp angling on there by all accounts and certainly not a lot of bait.
I'm told the captor didn't want pictures at all. The owner insisted on the mat shots and there is a picture of the captor sat behind it although he has asked for no publicity.
The fish is clearly unwell and at a totally bloated size, a lot of that weight will be water, suffice to say the lucky/unlucky captor just wanted it swimming off from his net without the added ordeals.
It is no fault of any angler, it is no fault of the captor, I merely thought some may be interested to hear that the falsely grown fish have a lot further to go if the farmers really want to be able to boast that they own the heaviest carp that Britain has seen.
