Best fishing session?

I've got a big choice from various sessions:

4 winter carp just after the lake thawed in February on Nazeing, 20, 26, 26 and 17lb

2 Ardleigh carp on the day of the London bombings, a 23.6 and 24.12, both fully scaled mirrors, but the overnight session was not as important as my Mate who was on the tube that day, thank heavens he survived.

A 3 hour session on the river that gave me a 28lb pb at the time.

Multiple 20lb fish from Brackens Pool a couple of times, from Earith Virginia Lake, and even from the 475acre Alton reservoir.

Mine gotta be getting my first 30+ in February.

My lad wanted to go lure fishing for pike so I thought I'd throw a line out for carp. 30mins in my rod gave a beep, I just thought pesky bream but then screamed into action. After it dragged me around for about 20mins I seen it break the surface, that's when I started to wet my pants at its size. It then only went right into a snag/tree. 

Jumped off the log I was standing on, off came my new boots n in the water I went up as far as my own tackle.

Once on the bank it weighed in @ 34.02lbs. Now the biggest known fish in the lake called SOX.

After I calmed down abit with a brew n a cigarette I grabbed the lure rod n first cast a PB pike of 10lbs. Not a monster but just starting out n still bigger than previous fish.

That's 2PBs beaten with 1hr out eachother. One of the few days I didn't mind packing away when the lad was ready

There have been 1 or 2 evening sessions were I've caught 20+ fish in about 4hrs but nothing massive.
