No doubt caught by Jez or his lad. If it swims in Telford, they've either caught it or knows the bloke that did

[jemsue5]

Got to be honest if that is true and photos can be very deceptive i would be amazed.

[goblin]

gotta agree with guy.......if i was drawn to fish anywhere within 20 miles of telford....or up and down the seven...jez is the man to talk to...and i take his word as gospel

[pumpkin123]

Take a look for yourself its on the door as you walk into the tackle shop, its a big fish really solid! Defo a mid twenty in my books but im no expert you can all come to your own decisions.

[jemsue5]

I hope its true as at least it gives you a worthwhile target in the water, just goes to show how waters can change over the years. I can remember that not so long back a double was a massive fish for Apley.

i have spoken to ken the balliff and he knows nothing about it!biggest he knows is 20lb caught by plesure angler on sweetcorn.

[pumpkin123]

Yes very true Jez! Fish can only get bigger over the years. And flash same as I said earlier take a look for yourself I'm sure the angler wouldn't lie then put it on the tackleshop front Lol

i dont know about the 27 lads,but i can tell you i had two twentys out of apley last year.the first was a 20lb 6oz common,and was the last fish of a hectic sesh, and the 2nd was a 21lb 12 common,the first fish of another cracking sesh the weekend after.does that count as a brace?? i also had a repeat capture of a stonking dark mirror we named 'two belly' as its right side fin was missing,along with a hefty chunk of flesh(fully healed by the way,must have happend years ago) creating the effect of it looking like it had two guts!that was 16 something.this,along with loads of other commons upto 19.8 made for a ace few seshions.unfortunatley,the more people that knew,the busier it became,my own fault for spouting my mouth off to bob in wellington tack shop.couldnt help myself,when someone asks you how youre getting on,and your last two decent fish have come from apley,you tell them with a big grin anyway,yeah,some good chunks in there boyos,like i say,cant vouch for the 27,but there is some real bonus fish in there you just accociate with the place

[pumpkin123]

A recent paper mate? Where from?

[telford_carper]

yesterdays shropshire star. from apley

[pumpkin123]

Just taken a look the carp is only 15lb's

[jemsue5]

This i will have to see

[sterry]

i saw in Shropshire Star it said 30lb Carp from Apley pool ! i was shocked myself

[pumpkin123]

Which days paper as thursdays said 15lb I can't see where it says 30lb?

[sterry]

im sure it was shropshire star his pb carp 30lb from Apley Pool Wellington it said , then it also mentioned two other of his biggest catches 22lb merrington and 15lb from another pool which i can not remember

[davebut]

its true, i read the article myself, i think it was tuesday or wednesdays shropshire star att the back.

 

11 Year old lad with the 30lb common! jammy git

[sterry]

Thursday Paper ! i went through all old papers got in recyclin bin i started to doubt myself so had to double check

[jemsue5]

But how big does it look lads

[j2775]

it looks maybe 15-18lb max i mite be wrong

[sterry]

i completley agree does not look like a 30lb at all !

[jemsue5]

I put it at 15lb max, how many coarse anglers out there actually carry decent scales etc. On the river i weigh loads of barbel for people who think they have caught a double and most of the time they are 7lb at the most. This fish is 28lb 2oz and i'm an 18st porker as my mrs puts it lol. If that fish is 30lb this one must be 50lb
