Another Record Fish Passes, Game Changers And History Fish
So, if you didn’t know already, and I expect you do because I hear it was in the Sun, the Wasing Parrot has died. Another record fish joins those already in our history lists, and not only the Parrot but quite a list of the UK’S biggest carp. The artificially grown Big Rig, several 50s from Wellington and the big one from Farnham’s Mill Lane too. Why? I’m guessing the same reason we get deaths at this time of year, every year – post spawning stress, high temperatures, low oxygen levels and simply getting caught too many times! Let’s not forget old age – nothing can live forever. There was talk of foul play, I hear, in the case of the Parrot, according to the Sun. Well, they would say that, wouldn’t they?
Sorry, not a very cheerful start to this month’s BC. I could have ended with a joke, in true Monty Python style, but I suppose, “An ex-parrot; he is no more” would have been deemed in bad taste. I’m sure a fish worthy of record status will come along… Wouldn’t it be wonderful if it was the Burghfield Common!!
