Three decades of trying sees angler bank amazing 40lb plus canal mirror. Carp don’t come much more impressive than this gorgeous 41lb fully scaled mirror – especially when they’re caught from the local canal. The fish, banked on the towpath of the Kennet and Avon canal, was caught this morning (March 1) by Wiltshire angler Bill Phillips and fulfills a 34 year dream for the long time British Carp Study Group member to catch a canal specimen over the magic 40lb mark. “I’ve fished the canals for carp for years, but this is by far the most amazing session I’ve had,” Bill told Total Carp.

Massive 53lb plus specimen takes title of the biggest carp so far this year. One of the Midlands' most popular big fish venues has produced the heaviest carp of the year so far with a huge mirror banked at a weight of 53lb 8oz. Beating the previous biggest carp of 2012 - a fish of 51lb caught last week from Essex’s Fryerning Fisheries - the massive specimen was caught from RH Fisheries’ The Avenue in Shropshire, smashing the venue’s record by 4lb. Caught this weekend just gone (February 25) the carp came to the rod of Richard Griffith, product developer for tackle firm Shimano Normark, during a 24hour session that saw the angler also land two other fish of 30lb 4oz and 28lb 12oz.
