High Wycombe based carper Tony Burnham has been in touch with news of his second 40lb+ common this year from Yateley North Lake.
This time Tony caught a fish known as Murray weighing 45lb 4oz. The bite came just three feet from the bank on a spot baited with hemp, chopped tigers and pellet soaked in CC Moore tuna extract.
Tony tamed the massive common with the help of a Terry Hearn Classic rod and the business end comprised a balanced tiger on a 6″ clone rig using 18lb Soft Ghost and a size 5 prototype ‘mk-3’ stiff rigger.
