Dean Goodwill from Bristol caught this lovely 34lb 8oz mirror from an Oxfordshire gravel pit last week, along with a common of 30lb 5oz.
Dean reported that it was a tricky 48 hour session but he managed to get on the fish in the end and had this nice result. The fish fell to rigs comprising of size 8 ESP Curve-Shanx, sandy gravel leadcore leaders and 15lb Olive Carp Mono and the hook baits were boilies from Velocity baits.
Olive Carp Mono is a tough and highly abrasion resistant reel line which combines durability with excellent knot strength. For more information on click here.
