Could we please see a Pic of the monster?
For me, it's a fish of a lifetime
Let me understand this clearly, so Yates 50 from a farm pond, can compare with Mary from Wrasbury, are you having a laugh or what, or do you have no idea about "real" Carp angling?It's the fish of your lifetime, Ray, plus mine and every angler who ever lived in England!
The Irish fish is not my record, nor is any carp after Yates's fifty. Some things stay forever etched in the collective psyche, hence the press interest two decades gone.

That's a sight we dont want to see .................., Ray might as he bought it up, or maybe he has done it himself...
Your on about the other fish being the Bream Skippy ???

Of course I do. Real carp angling is when a man in a floppy hat stalks a carp with freelined corn, hooks and lands it with the hand me down rod used to land the previous all time best. With due respect, it is you who has things topsy turvy...
However, the rod used was not the same as Walker used to catch the previous record...

With due respect, it is you who has things topsy turvy... How can I explain this. With roach perhaps? There is real roach angling and wrong roach angling. The distinction is clear with roach in that it's not what you catch but how you catch it that really matters. When a new record roach is finally caught with your "real" carp angling tactics, helicopter self-hook rigs that is and a bite that comes in the night whilst the 'captor' sleeps, a scenario that is likely to be played out within the next year or so, then I for one will finally ditch the BRCF system as unfit for purpose as it recognises only the gross weight of a fish caught by any means possible and not the weight of the significance of capture and I'll just set my own list of worthy captures, and for my own purposes. And Mary, was a boy...
