And the winner is???????????

Thank you very much for your warm welcome.

I work with Member Services here at HQ, so if you have any questions let me know.

Let's get to the important matter at hand. Graham has confirmed that The Carp was actually 34lb exactly. This means that none of you got it right and the winner had to be drawn between the two closest guesses. The name that came out of the hat is:

- Andy Widd

Congratulation Andy!!!

Check you email, I will contact you shortly to make arrangements for your new rod and reel to be delivered.

Congratulation Andy!!!

Hopefuly those who have just made he one post so far (on this thread) will feel able to join in with a few more posts now the have broken their duck.

So don't be shy and wait for the next competition before making post number 2 - read the post by all means but join in now and again - we don't all bite - some are too old to a have any teeth left.

Another shot of the same fish

I deliberately chose the picture because I knew it would be hard to estimate the weight of the carp. It was held at an angle and was a funny-shaped fish and held by a funny-shaped bloke. It was hard to estimate as the guesses ranged from about 16lb to about 42lb.

There was no editing of the picture in photo editing software.

Anyway, to give you a better idea of what the fish really looked like here's my old mate Rik Belenger holding the same fish, which was caught during the same week in France and at exactly the same weight on Rik's scales; 34lb on the nose.

At the time Rik was about 18 stone and built like a brick outhouse.

Just thought I'd share that with you, but now it's back to blissful retirement.

PS: Food for thought for all those who say that little blokes always make the fish look bigger.

I said 35.5
Close, but no cigar. Wish you had weighed it with some of the people I've fished with

 

[Scott Whatmore]

34lb ? Bloomin heck, had it nabbed your wallet Graham :wh

Gratz Andy!

Forgot to say congratulations to Andy.
