I was building a new swim on etang Angele when the phone rang, it was Jean Noel phoning to say he was on his way with 5 nice carp that he’d caught whilst emptying a lake that morning…..
Beautiful colours on this low 30
A truly majestic French Carp
How long before this one gets to 50lb?
The Futures Bright
Each time Jean noel lifted a fish from the tank i kept saying wow that’s another beauty. And then he lifted this one out of the tank!!
And then this came out of the tank

The 5 fish are all stunning and i wouldn’t mind seeing any of them in my net one day. They weighed 28lb, 33lb, 35lb, 37lb and the big girl weighed 48lb (22kg). Amazingly, this fish was weighed and returned to it’s lake 2 winters ago at 24lb(11kg) so she has doubled in weight putting on 24lb in 2 years!
