UK Strain Carp

[MoCarp]

People can get obsessed trying to land one fish......

"The Giant Mirror Carp called Two Tone was the holy grail of  UK angling: the biggest mirror carp in Britain, worth tens of thousands of pounds and so sought-after by obsessed fishermen that it was nicknamed the “marriage wrecker”. people spent a great deal to try and land the fish, when it died in 2010, people who chased it were distraught..... the fish was 45 years old, and was roughly 67#"

Mr bass blaster chunking and winding for if he's lucky a string of fish that over a long FLW tourney week end.... might get close to what one fish weighs at 10 acre lake carp Venue

Yes there is one in Gigantica, a big Mirror they call the Giant only gets caught once or twice a year, some only once every 3-5 years, They have bulletin boards that list the captures of notable fish. Its why they require have "carp care kits" to put antibiotics/healing agent on wounds, They use landing mats, special nets etc, these fish are worth tens of thousands of dollars in many cases,....
