Total Carp Staff

Les Graviers' most famous resident, The Scar Fish, comes to the bank. The world’s biggest carp, the Scar Fish from France’s Les Graviers, has been banked, but at a weight 7lb lighter than its record-breaking biggest. Caught by Northampton angler Mark Ryder, the mighty fish still sent the scales hurtling round to 92lb, a weight that keeps it in the top three heaviest known carp on the planet. Mark, who is a bailiff at Daventry’s Drayton reservoir, still very nearly made the history books though, after hooking into another fish of an estimated 80lb – a specimen if landed that would have seen him take the world's heaviest ever brace of carp.
