Following hot on the heels of a 66lb 4oz mirror reported last week, Angling Lines have sent us news of a truly remarkable brace of mirrors coming out of Croix Blanche this week. At 67.12 and 60.10 these two mirrors are believed to be the world record brace to one angler. Chris Ball of Carp Talk checked his records and confirmed that as far as he’s aware it’s a new world record.

James Vincent, a BT computer specialist from Brandon, Suffolk, took the two mirrors on the 11th May. The 60.10 came at 8.10am and the 67.12 at 23.50pm.

James was on one of the A&J Eurocarp Sessions organised trips to Croix. Backed up with additional mirrors of 51.08, 44.07, 44.03, 35.15, 34.08, 33.14, 27.05, 27.00, 25.09, 25.10, 20.01, 37.01 common and catfish of 42.14 and 15.00 this really was a staggering haul.

A&J boss, Martyn Bocarissa commented;

“I’m absolutely delighted for James. In truth we knew something like this was on the cards… the head of massive fish in Croix Blanche is unbelievable. We’ve watched them grow on over the last five years so we know there’s more to come yet. But to take the world record for a brace is unbelievable. A big thanks goes to everyone involved on the A&J trips from coach drivers to our top notch bailiffs… we’ve all got something to be truly proud of now.”For more information on the A&J trips to Croix Blanche ring Angling Lines on 08712 004466 or visit www.anglinglines.com
