The un-named angler wades in to free a fish from a snag (not to be advised) but when the estimated 30lb carp comes free it takes off with such force the he, his rod and landing net get dragged in and pulled right under, much to the amusement of his mates!

It’s one of many highlights of a packed issue that includes a new ‘Out and About with Ian Chillcott’ series in which Chilly bumps into Lee Jackson and his ridiculous bivvy, and the pair chew the fat over swim selection and their preparations for the World Carp Classic, which The Carp Channel joined them at.

There’s a great day ticket carping video with Nash consultant Rich Wilby, plus more from the ‘Lifting The Lid On Gravel Pits’ series and Ali Hamidi’s advice on catching bigger carp as the Korda ace looks at how to make things happen with hook bait tricks when things go quiet.
