I think I caught the end of Predator yesterday.This 50 odd year old bloke with a beard(are they angling specific?) caught this mahoosive prehistoric looking fish.It was as big as him and weighed around 80kg.

50lb is a hell of a lump, I'm still waiting for my first 40 ( had 3x39's so far ! Never fancied dream lakes .. too 'organised' for me. We're going over again end Sept to France, last year we fished the Gaasp just outside Amsterdam

Hello,
yes another carp angler here.But i havnt been for about a year
The last time i went i caught a 20lb mirror and a 10lb 2oz Bream!!!
one big slab!!
Would love to fish abroad but i dont think my "tackle"is upto the job.Bet you need some really heavy duty stuff for those monsters.
Also the cost would probably put me off
have a video where they go to france,think its Kevin Nash and they catch a tonne of carp.The amount of bait they use is wild,buckets and buckets just get poured over the edge of the boat!!!
Alright for kevin as he has his own bait factory!!

Yes, love carp fishing in France.
Went over last summer and decided to throw the rods in the car. Pleased I did. I love the early mornings with the mist covering the lakes. Fish from 5.00 to 9.00 am before everyone else has got up. No hugh monsters but lots of fun with 10lb fish on light tackle.

Yeah I'm another one but a really crap carp angler. Been doing it for 10 years on and off now and still haven't got over a 9lb'er and its doing my head in still waiting for the double figure fish! Thing is I refuse to use anything except boilies and dont bait up much so I know where I need to change things but am too lazy once I got the crate of stella open and the tent up

Did someone say Carp Fishing. Yes its one of my few passions, not that good but just enjoy the sit down and watch the world go by.
Biggest so far is 26lb common. Was supposed to be fishing in France 2 weeks ago, but 2 people pulled out and we lost the reservation Tight lines
