“It’s not every day you are lucky enough to achieve your new UK PB… this was very special, a very tricky venue that doesn’t give up its low stock residents easily. Solid bag via a baiting pole out to the corner of some lilly pads. Reel melted in the early hours and this was the result. The now named ‘Moo Moo’ mirror at 39lbs. Thank you Joe for being there to share in the moment and for hosting at the awesome Anglers Paradise!”

“I was fishing on the Kracking carp in the heat wave, at 1.30am the alarm had a few beeps and suddenly tore off!! I got out of bed like Usain Bolt! After a fierce battle, it slid into the net, at which point I realised it was my new PB at 34lb 11oz, beating my previous PB by 11lb!!
I’m absolutely buzzing to be in the 30 club, I can’t wait to come back very soon!! Thank you for the advice Ashley Bunning Complex fishery bailiff .”
