BIGGEST carp caught by a female angler in the UK! 🎣🔥 WOW!

BIGGEST carp caught by a female angler in the UK! 🎣🔥 WOW! | Korda - A remarkable achievement in the world of carp anglers.

After a tricky start to the fishing trip, a move to deeper water for her last night would change her fortunes! Upon arriving at the new swim called Harry’s, on the end of the wind, the female angler, Naomi, saw that there were still fish in the area and the best bet would be to go in with a stealthy approach to nick a bite! 🤞🏼

Only a couple of hours into a Carp Fishing first!

“The rods had only been out a couple hours when the left hand rod signalled a slow take. As soon as I connected, the fish had other ideas and found itself lodged firmly into a large weedbed. With slow and steady pressure and bit of patience, I was soon back in direct contact and it was evident the fish was plodding around in the deep water, using its weight to its full advantage.” Little did she know it will be her biggest carp catch yet!

The common carp, known for its size and strength, is a prized catch among anglers, and Naomi's achievement is a testament to her skill and patience.

“A moment of euphoria and utter excitement erupted as I realised what was finally in my landing net” - Something we all love about carp fishing!

Having finally managed to get it in the net… “A moment of euphoria and utter excitement erupted as I realised what was finally in my landing net, my target, the lake’s current largest known resident and biggest carp, “Pashley” and a new UK PB at 72lb 12oz! After a few tears of joy, multiple moments of elation and disbelief, I eventually came to terms that this is potentially the largest carp in the country and the largest carp caught by a female angler in the UK too, a session I certainly won’t forget”

Fishing Gear

Naomi used a great combination of Korda Spinner Rigs comprising of 25lb boom and a Korda- Size 4 Kamakura Wide Gape X Hooks presented on a small hump surrounded by weed and with minimal bait. In addition to her rigs, Naomi relied on bite alarms to alert her to any activity, ensuring she didn't miss a single opportunity. Naomi's choice of Korda Spinner Rigs, a staple in carp fishing tackle, played a crucial role in her success. Her meticulous selection of fishing tackle, including the Korda- Size 4 Kamakura Wide Gape X Hooks, was key to landing the massive carp.

Congratulations to Naomi!
