Will it be accepted do you reckon?.

Apparently the lake done 3 different 60s In a week.

Sounds more like a French type venue .

Didn't,  the powers that be impliment some criteria for future record claims after all the big rig back lash? 

Not saying this isn't a legit claim mind .

Read earlier that the fella isn't going to put a claim in, fair play to him, probably wants to avoid all the drama..... Some nasty stuff last time with that Big Rig...… I think a fish should be born in the lake for a claim to stand, stops all controversy.....

Not a fan of this being a record fish. May have been in the lake almost a decade (sure I read that last time it was caught at a record weight) but it’s one of the Israeli super strains like big rig and the rest of them. In a lake that’s basically run for the ‘must catch huge fish’ brigade. 

I think most of the carp world doesn’t acknowledge these type of fish, or capture of them as being skilful at all.

I read that he said that he has been carp fishing since 82 and he wants his 5 minutes of fame so will be going for the record.

Thing is he's gonna get all the haters spilling there venom his way anyway.

I know these sort of lake are not everybody's cup off tea but nobody deserves abuse just for catching a fish.

You’re right. And each to their own. He wants 5 minutes of fame, let him have it. I’d be a bit unsure of having 5 minutes of bad fame though. But no one will remember his name in 6 months, same as the guy that caught big rig. 

Thry should abolish the carp record. Technically it’s classed as a non-native, the exact reason they abolished the weld catfish record. It would stop a lot of the bitterness in carp fishing.

Wouldn't surprise me if it went again before the year was out. Don't think many people take a lot of notice of the actual record these days...… As anglers, I think the sight of a huge fish is always impressive, no matter what the species or where it came from... But imo, these sort of captures create a somewhat fabricated record. Good publicity for the fishery, who have probably done their bit to encourage a claim...… From a scientific point of view, it does give us an insight into how big these strains can grow in our waters, in certain conditions. But that's exactly how it comes across to me, one big, unfinished experiment...….. Having said that, all records aside, To see a creature of that size on my mat, would blow my mind..... I'm thinking , the sheer width of it, an impressive sight no doubt..... Good luck to the fella. There's no room for animosity imo, Just applaud him or take no notice.. One thing is for sure, we'd all like something of that size tugging our lines. How you go about achieving that is down to the individual...…...
