The dedicated Manc carper banked the history making fish on Monday afternoon, 23rd of October. The fish was weighed and witnessed by a number of people who all confirmed the scales were checked and rechecked. The incredible fish weighed in at a massive 41 lb 7 oz !
Known as ' angry ', the fish has been a resident in the water for a long time and was noted as a ' big framed fish ' as far back as the 90's when it stared appearing in the lower twenties bracket.
The water is known as an incredibly ' challenging ' water for a number of reasons and has seen more than a few lads, local and from out of the area, give up and walk away in frustration . . . . . . .
Not so for Mr.Clarke who persevered to bank the incredible fish below . . . . . . . . .

More info will be added as it becomes available. . . . . . . .
