Jay Allen, a local teenager, fished Nutrabait’s Yateley Summer Pit to take a crucian carp of 4lb 9oz, another crucian of 4lb 4oz, and included a dozen tench to over 7lb in his memorable catch.
If the 4lb 9oz fish is accepted by the British Record Fish Committee it will be the new record for the species.
The crucians were almost certainly part of a netting from one of Yateley’s stock ponds, fish that were identified at the time as genuine crucian carp and not brown goldfish or hybrids.
