Forum contributor Tony Cox otherwise known as carp100000 has made Kingfisher
history by landing a new lake record 45lb 4oz stunner, on Carp Company
Baits from Kingfisher lake on the wintons complex. Tony writes,
"I WAS FISHING IN SWIM 23 AND SPODDED OUT HEMP AND CARP PELLET
TO THE ISLAND. I WAS USING ICELANDIC RED BAIT ON A INVISABLE HOOK LENGTH
TO A SIZE 8 HOOK. I WAITED FOR 36 HOURS FOR THE FIRST RUN AND I WAS
CONVINCED IT WAS A BIG CAT AS IT HELD THE BOTTOM AND USED ALL ITS WEIGHT
TO KEEP WELL AWAY FROM THE BANK. BUT AFTER A GOOD FIGHT IT CAME TO THE
NET AND AFTER GETTING A FELLOW ANGLER TO CHECK THE SCALES I RETURNED
HER BACK TO THE DEPTHS I CAN HONESTLY SAY SHE WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION
AND WAS NOT FULL OF SPAWN.
I CAN SAY FOR MYSELF THIS WAS A FISH OF A LIFE TIME AND AS ALL OF THE
FISH THAT I HAVE CAUGHT AT WINTONS IT WAS FIN PERECT"
