B.C. Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Absolute stunner. One that makes you stop and stare for a while...…. Nice to know there's fish like this about. All of our rivers are so untapped..... I know the otters have done some damage, but it proves there's some fish worth putting in the effort for. snowmanstevo, muftyboy and Donnygooner 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a stunner mate. Looks like the perfect Photoshop if that makes sense. Wish i had the time to put in . I doubt just rocking up for a day session every now and then on the Thames is gonna be very rewarding lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.C. Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Wasn't there a fella that caught several 40 plus carp from the Thames back in the early 2000's. Wonder if that fish is one of them? Maidenhead area, Berkshire rings a bell..... Can't think of his name, but he went on to win some kind of carp trophy or award and no doubt some sponsorship too? I remember reading something at the time... I'll see if I can dig it up... No doubt escapees, but to find em and catch em takes a bit of doing.

The Compleat Angler Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Nick will have done a lot of research before angling for that fish, and ear bending, that’s his way. It’s not actually a Thames record but, probably the less said about that, the better.😉 I know there are now some very upset regular Thames carp anglers, especially on that stretch, because of the publicising etc. Just as there was when Katch Bullet and previous captors leaked it. Amazing fish though, and congrats to Nick on the capture 👍🏻 B.C. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a few out from various stretches, although the 28 pictured was the biggest, then sadly it got poached, not by Eastern Europeans, but by local fishery owners wanting instant fish. Dippy the 40lb + Mirror went from the Gipping to Snake Pit 25miles away. The Stour on the border also has some very good fish in it.

I know this is the third capture (at least) of that fish this year but everyone else kept it quiet. I heard a rumour of another different Thames 50 out since Nick's capture but the masses won't hear about that one! 7 hours ago, salokcinnodrog said: Dippy the 40lb + Mirror went from the Gipping to Snake Pit 25miles away. And the rest bud....... it started life in the ICI pit, then it was nicked and put into Barham B pit where it escaped into the Gipping before being nicked again and put in Snake pit..... very colourful history lol.

Pete Springate's Guns Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 I hear that this fish was a possible Dinton escapee from the floods around 2007. No idea if its true but I reckon Simon at Dinton could possibly trace it back if he had a mind to. It wouldn’t look out of place amongst the White Swan stock, thats for sure!

Pete Springate's Guns Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 If it is a Dinton original it will be the second one in a week to break 50 after Tripple Row was caught ounces over by long-term member, ‘Hutch’😎👍👏 yonny, snowmanstevo and muftyboy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
