A massive congratulations to Director of Catch, Steve Manley who beat his previous personal UK best by 14lbs with a 39lber from Nirvana’s Kracking Carp Lake!
Steve shared –
“It’s not every day you are lucky enough to achieve your new UK PB… this was very special, a very tricky venue that doesn’t give up its low stock residents easily. Solid bag via a baiting pole out to the corner of some lilly pads. Reel melted in the early hours and this was the result. The now named ‘Moo Moo’ mirror at 39lbs. Thank you Joe for being there to share in the moment and for hosting at the awesome Anglers Paradise!”
