No pics at the moment but as soon as I get them I will put them up but there are reports of a new world carp record, Rainbow lake in France to graham slaughter,

88lb 6oz:drool:



Current mirror carp record could be the same fish. 87lb Rainbow Lake in France, November 2006
 
Are the carp in Europe so fat because they are fed? I've seen hundreds of carp in the US but they don't have that "obese" look. Is it because of the way people fish for them there with the bags of food on the hook?
 
Wow, that fish must drink beer to have that monster gut!
 
Cool, its just gonna keep going up and up every few months.

Here's my 44 I caught a week ago today only up the road from rainbow lake....Double the size of this, and for scale im not a small bloke....

its not really how we feed them that they get that belly. there are a lot of different strains in europe and all have differing body shapes. the ones in us and here in canada are nearer the wild type as we really only see commons and they have the sleek muscular look to them.
 
What a monster! Any word on tackle?
