Monsters ‘n’ Minters

Just like it says on the tin, this month’s issue is packed with what Big Carp does best – huge carp and classic English thoroughbreds. They don't come much bigger than the ones from our first two writers, Clint Bullock and Lyndon Barrett. Clint has been smashing it up at Welly this year, catching a load of monsters topped by six over 50lbs, bringing his total of UK 50s to ten!! That is mental! Who would have thought years ago that there would even be this number of 50s out there? I remember the first Welly article we had in BC. It was written by Zeth Christie, who I had met that year over at Swan Valley. Zeth told me he had caught about ten 30s that year, which for 20 years ago was pretty impressive. These fish are the same ones now reaching almost 60lb!! The full story of Clint's history making season can be found in this issue.

Lyndon has written before in BC when he caught an upper forty linear, and this time he's back with the full account of his Wasing campaign. They are true UK monsters these, with commons to 46lb and mirrors to 56lb!!
