41lb monster is icing on cake for Jim Wilson. Korda ace, Jim Wilson had a long weekend to remember last week, after banking an incredible six fish haul -the best of which went a massive 41lb 10oz!Jim explained: "I arrived at my syndicate around 05:30am on Friday morning for a rare weekend’s fishing. There were already three or four people dotted around the lake and well spread out. A swim that had been kind to me over the spring was free, and as it was a weekend, I thought being in that area could only be beneficial, as the swim I fancied is the only one giving access to the area of lake I fancied.

As it was all that was left me and a friend Dave quickly filled the gaps and set up home for the weekend.

Nash Junior Consultant and prolific carp catcher Alfie Russell raised a few eyebrows when he bagged this stunning 43lb 8oz common. What makes this capture special is the fish was caught from a southern park lake and was previously unknown and possibly uncaught. Alfie, aged 14, had spent two days walking the venue and tracking down the resident carp, before making the effort to introduce bait several times before he wet a line. Targetting a shallow bay, he introduced a mixture of 15mm Monster Squid Boilies and sweetcorn on his baiting trips.
