brighton_carper Posted November 21, 2012 Report Posted November 21, 2012 Just seen Damien Clarke's had the Scar out of Luke Moffats place at 93lbs. Awesome fish- god knows how big its going to get. Do you think it will get bigger? I thought it had been dropping in weight over the last year or so. Quote
travisbickle Posted November 21, 2012 Report Posted November 21, 2012 Its always been a fair yoyo of a fish Theo. .....Nice to see DF cant cash in on it ...Aqua get the mention Quote
Guest keenook Posted November 21, 2012 Report Posted November 21, 2012 Still massive, unbelievable! Quote

travisbickle Posted November 21, 2012 Report Posted November 21, 2012 who knows....who would believe it would put on 50lb in 10yrs Quote
brighton_carper Posted November 21, 2012 Report Posted November 21, 2012 who knows....who would believe it would put on 50lb in 10yrs Fair point, that's one hell of a growth rate. I suppose if you catch it at excatly the right moment, full of spawn it could do it any year, but the old girl does seem to have levelled off recently. Quote
Gaz Posted November 21, 2012 Report Posted November 21, 2012 thats a big fish and massive growth rate Quote
Guest keenook Posted November 21, 2012 Report Posted November 21, 2012 Indeed, but would you want to catch it? Quote
cobleyn Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Posted November 21, 2012 yes.LOL. ---But there are a lot of other things to do that would take priority over catching it. Quote
Guest keenook Posted November 21, 2012 Report Posted November 21, 2012 I can honestly say I would not chase that fish, so I will never catch it! I am not interested in that weight, as I could not lift it! However what madness, a 100lbs Carp, who would have believed that, just 30 years ago??? Quote
Gaz Posted November 21, 2012 Report Posted November 21, 2012 tbh mate it depends if your the type that chases and wants big fish, i like carp of all sizes and am happy with small and love to catch bigger, but i am not a chaser of big fish. if is was then yes i would loved to catch it, will i pay and go over to have a go? probably not lol Quote

johnplumb Posted November 21, 2012 Report Posted November 21, 2012 Indeed, but would you want to catch it? Yes ,but like you i would never "chase" it . I can understand when people say size isn't everything and to catch a nice old english fish is what it's about, but what ever lake you fish there is a fish in there that is the biggest and i do not believe that any of us wouldn't be happy to catch it be it 20lb or 100lb .

Guest keenook Posted November 21, 2012 Report Posted November 21, 2012 I think you all understand my point? In the Spring I shall be on a water of 30 acres+ but contains more 30+ than 15+! Now to me I will be happy for a 15+ or a 40+, whatever I catch, I will be more than happy, yes sure, if a big girl comes along, I will not try to shake the hook out! Quote

liamclose Posted November 22, 2012 Report Posted November 22, 2012 Indeed, but would you want to catch it? Would rather catch an uncaught English 30lb+ common from a secret lake that doesnt get fished. Roll on spring. Quote
