New Record Carp

[portabuddy]

the ones i hae pulled out of lake ontario never have a gut like that, they are more elongated and like jonahonah said they are sleeker and muscular., the biggest i cought was 22lb and my dad got a 266lb one... thats it.

and because they came from a pretty dirty part of lake ontario the taised like crap...

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?

Carp can be pigs when they are on the feed they will eat an enormous amount of bait the high protein food we use (boilies) will add to this a wiled caught fish will tend to be leaner and a big fish from one of the French or Spanish river will be leaner as they are swimming against the current all the time.

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....

Yes a pilgrimage to France is a must for most UK Carp anglers the 20lbers. become the norm this was a 42lb I had last year and one of the 30 lb ers, the 30 is a very lean fish but the 40 is a pig
