Venue: Syndicate

Additional Info: My first 40. Known as ‘Jakes Pet’. This was spawned in the lake in the 2003-2004 season and caught as a 2’’-4’’ fingerling and kept by Lee Valley Fishery in a polytunnel tank to be grown on for the next 2 years. The carp was one of the biggest in the batch when finally stocked back out in April 2006 and placed back in at 4lb. A proper home grown LV 40lb chunk!
