Croix Blanche Carp and Cat Records Broken

Two records broken in the same week

The massive mirror known as Hippo came out at 76lb to the rod of Colin Fowler. Colin, from Weston Super Mare, has been carp fishing for 21 years.

This was his 5th trip to Croix and his previous best was 47.08. He banked the Hippo on Mainline Maple Activ-8 baits, Kryston Mantis hooklink, Size 2 Nailer hook and 15lb line.

The big cat weighed in at 86.04 and was caught by Chris Jenkins from Littlehampton, Sussex. This was his second trip to the venue and his first cat …which gave him a 45 minute fight before it could be banked!

Successful tactics were a Shoreline Matrix Crayfish boilie, 12″ Kryston Merlin hooklink, ESP G4 size 2 hook and 15lb Nash bullet main line.
