100lb 8oz fish is new world best!Colin Smith set a new world record yesterday, after banking a 100lb 8oz monster common carp from France’s Etang Saussaie, in the Champagne region of France.

Korda ace, Damian Clarke is said to have banked the same fish back in 2011, at a weight of 88llb – but it has since clapped on weight at the French super venue, taking it to its now epic proportions.
