Fair enough...but....honestly, it's pot calling kettle, I'm not having a pop as it's almost impossible to avoid it.
I suppose your pension funds aren't tied up with dividend seeking companies?
Again, you avoid buying Fox Int whatever, never mind all the investment fund owned tackle companies.
I'm not saying it's right, or for that matter wrong (Korda trust waters) just saying it's hard to draw a line when money's involved.

Of course the last Area to blame is the fish. " if you build it they will come " there's a reason why that became an iconic saying. If people in charge of lakes succumb to the money they can make. They should not be in that business. Nature should be for the people who love it and want to preserve it. Not for profiteering ********s I'm not saying a person or club running a lake shouldn't cover expenses or make a profit to provide further investment. But not to give dividends leeches just investing for a profit. Same for water companies. Why don't we rise up or "strike" surely this shouldn't continue.

Everyone can hire this lake either as a social or on your own.
So if you wanted your 5 weeks as a record holder you can.
How many of the big fish in times gone by came from smaller lakes.
The Fish canโt help how big it is does it even know lol

Yep I think it's a naff way of going about fishing.
Turn up, lock gates to keep um out, chase it around a garden pond until it slips up, pack up your transit, collect your cheque and go home never to return.
Or maybe start typing the post code of the next lake in before the photos ๐

Crikey mate...what? It only counts now if it reflects rammed syndis or day tickets ๐ค
Surely that's more a reflection on the way you think, which is fair enough, each to their own.
It could be argued there's less skill and it's more luck, when every inch is covered in rods & nods.
The fish had the whole lake to hide in and he still caught it. Yes it may have been less wary but even still.
I just hope they enjoyed the capture more than you did ๐๐

Reminds me of the Warmwel common in the early 90s. 50lb fish in a small venue, chased by the great and the good.
Kevin nash even wrote a book about not catching it. Two big commons if you include the snake pit fish...๐๐

See it's come out again to one of the famous ones who looked to have the place to themselves.
Fair play n all that, but buying a whole lake until you catch the one you want feels a long way away from the truth of the everyday fishing us mere mortals contend with.
So what's the point?

Pretty much a definition of a mug fish.

Maybe itโs just realised it can eat all day long and if it gets hooked the worst that happens is it gets a cuddle and a photo.
Anyone know of the fish puts up much of a fight once hooked?

It's a male fish. I think it's a worry that it's coming out so much this year. It's always been fairly friendly doing a few captures spring, summer and autumn but this seems a bit too often.

Iโd not heard of this fish until a few weeks ago. Since then it seems like itโs been out about 3 times a week! Canโt be good for it, surely. Has it spawned at all? Is this its pre or post spawning weight? It looks a good shape regardless, well proportioned etc. Hopefully itโs just going through a phase and soon goes on the missing list until the autumn at least.

In my experience a carp gets caught that often just before it goes belly up. Hopefully not the case this time.

Blimey, if he can catch it, it must be a mug fish.

Spooner had it at 67lb.
Apparently seventh capture so far this year.
