Carp Catchers Blog

Here’s a report on customer Rob O’ Briens personal best. It was caught a while ago but Robs’ only just sent me the photos’ and report. Robs’ huge mirror carp was caught at Vallee lake in Normandy, France. Fishing to a drop off tight to an island Rob used a snowman rig tied with Korda Hybrid Stiff  to a Korda Wide Gape Hook   to trick the 50lb 2oz beauty. Rob fished over a bed of partiblend and pellet with around twenty  Cranberry & Caviar Freezer Boilies with matching hookbaits. The fish didn’t put up much of a fight according to Rob, but he was over the moon to see a carp that barely fitted in the net. Nice one!

Congratulations to Andre Kormoniki from London on landing the world record carp. Andre used a  Greys Platinum 12ft 6” 3lb Carp Rod to land the 91lb, YES 91lb monster from Luke Moffats Le Graviers water in France last week. The leviathan is known as the scarred fish or the fish of two halves as it has a scar running round its body. The scar was caused by a rope which was tied around the fishes body to retain it, this was done many years ago before people were less concerned about carp care. The bait Andre used was the awesome Baitcraft T1 a bait with a track record for the bigger specimens. Andre used a blowback rig tied with a Kryston Super Mantis hooklink and a Korda Longshank X Hook to catch the carp of a lifetime. Not content on catching the world record Andre went on to catch ten more fish including carp of 63lb, 56lb, two at 50lb, 40lb, 37lb, 33lb, 32lb, 29lb and 27lb. Well done again Andre, Well done also to Luke Moffet for nurturing such a special water and such a colossal fish.
