Photos & Records
Current match record - 163lbs 8oz, Craig O'Brien
. (above, right) Caught on a peg on the right hand bank during Summer of 2006, Craig
smashed the previous record after finding big carp fishing
the method.
Carp Match record (48 hours), 1292lbs, Andy &
Tom Maker from Maidstone, Kent during the 2011 British Carp Angling Championship
semi final no 2.
Silvers only match record - 120lbs, Darren Cox.
Biggest Carp - The end of June 2005 saw
Barstons first 30lb carp coming to the net - a mirror which weighed in at 30lb 6oz. Last out in October 2004
when it weighed 29lbs 6oz, it was taken from open water on a large pellet fished
over a big bed of 4mm pellets. Now rumoured to be over 33lbs we are awaiting
a photo for inclusion on the website.
Thirteen year old Scott Travis from Cubbington, near Leamington in
Warwickshire took what is thought to be Barstons biggest ever bream when he
landed a superb 10lb 8oz specimen.
