October 2009 Danny Fairbrass lands Gigantica’s largest resident – the Giant at 72lb. He’d already had several 40’s and a 50 before catching the Giant on his final night. Just look at the size of this magnificent creature!

Here it is Martin Locke’s World Record 94lb mirror caught at Rainbow Lake last week.
I must say it is looking in great shape at the moment and possibly doesn’t look 94lb because we are so used to seeing carp pushed out towards the camera. However if you check the size of Martin’s hands then this is always the give away – I guess you struggle to push a 94′ out towards the camera!
It is certainly not a bloated fish – I wonder if it’s frame is still capable of growing more? If it isn’t there is still room for it ‘bulking out’. It really does look as though the first 100lb carp could be closer than we perhaps think.
I’m not sure if anyone knows if it is a male or female fish but if it is female then this fish will definitely top 100lb with spawn!

I caught this monster at Laroussi on 15th November in swim La Plage.
I was fishing 65 yards to my right into open water and at about 1 am Sunday morning had a slow take. 40 minutes later and this monster came into my net!
I could not believe the size of this carp, I was speechless!
I wanted to beat my personal best of 45lb and I did it by 30lb… Wow! “Pinch me” was all I could keep saying!
I was using an 18mm boilie with about 15 freebies around it, a bit of partiblend and some micro pellet. I was using a size 4 korda kurv barbless hook on a 8 inch hook length of 25lb Kryston Mantis Gold on a bolt rig, gravel colour tubing, 3oz distance lead and back leaded.
It was a very strong fish in perfect condition …………pinch me
