Long time carper and BCSG member Andy Trim from Glos has recently banked the fish of a life time in the shape of this stunning UK fifty from a difficult Southern gravel pit. The big mirror pulled the scales around to 50lb 6oz and is a new fifty from the venue. ‘Trimmy’ has been carp fishing for over 34-years now and has been a good friend to Mike and the Essential team during this time. Being a little ‘old school’ he normally keeps his successes very close to his chest, but this was such a big personal milestone in his angling career, we finally persuaded him to publicise the capture and are extremely grateful to him for doing so.
The monster mirror fell to a bed of 16mm Shellfish B5 boilies fished towards the marginal slope of an island at approx 100-yards range. Mike and the Essential team would like to congratulate ‘Trimmy’ on his recent success and wish him continued success for many more years to come. Well in little fella – top B5 bombing!
