PBs all round for the Butler family fishing Oakview at the beginning of this month.

 48lbs – Zach

Ray pushes his PB into the 30s with a 32lb mirror, Ian tops that with a 34lb 2oz mirror and Zach trumps them all with his 48lb mirror, which is the third new 40 out so far this year and a new lake record. Well done all!

Watch below for an interview with the guys and footage of the lake record carp itself.
