Guest arch1 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 There's been 1 or 2 more recently as well. Bluebell lakes in Northants lost 2 awhile back. Benson and the Creature i think. Maybe all the "Old" British carp are all the same age and gonna go around the same time. I know the Bluebell ones died because of badly prepared Tigers. Allegedly. Quote Link to post

A human fed boily muncher, which brought satisfaction to folk who like to fished for a named fish....A shame is when a very big fish that goes unnoticed all its life and dies with out getting the recognition it deserved. Like the many many big fish in loches and loughs around the british isles... Fishing made easy, for the TOP anglers of the country.

Guest arch1 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 You get the same thing happening on the rivers, look at the barbel on the Ouse on the old Milton Keynes stretch near Bedford. The barbel there were caught every week, one was even named, the Traveller i think. One guy caught it twice in a week a few years ago, both times it was over the record. IIRC he got lots of stick for targeing the same fish again after he caught it the first time. Quote Link to post
