bobcullen79 1,495 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Hey All. Joined Test valley angling club in september, and paid full price halfway through the season with my two mates, to have a crack at the big girl in Nutsey. Done a few nights through september. I was due to go to spain for a week on the 1st of october, and just as I was boarding the plane, my mate phoned me to say he had her in his net at 49.12, I was gutted, but pleased for him, hes broke his PB twice this season, with a previous of 33.6., hes doing well. So, today on the way back from ferreting I got a call to say she was dead, gutted is an understatement. The fish was an english fish, stocked in the 70`s. R.I.P the Nutsey Big `un. Quote Link to post

bobcullen79 1,495 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Im sure I will Lumpy, just another big one dead. Been a funny year for it. Theres been a few big, old, fish die this year, all over the age of 30, all over the country. Is this gonna be a big decline in the last big english carp? Quote Link to post
SON OFF SHAM 34 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I'm sure you are gutted I can't blame you either. There was a big carp died a while back cant remember it's name but it was near like a celebrity to all the big into it, carp men. Quote Link to post

bobcullen79 1,495 Posted November 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 That Two Tone was our biggest carp. The next biggest is only 57lb now, the parrot, I think. Im mostly gutted because Test valley was only £130 for the year, where as most places that hold big carp are expensive as feck to get on there and fish. Quote Link to post

bobcullen79 1,495 Posted November 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Not really, just a bit of trotting and piking on the rivers round here, its mostly shallow chalk streams. Quote Link to post
