So its 60 years today when it all changed for the angling world... Mr Richard Walker and the capture of the British record carp of 44lb from Bernithan pool, named Ravioli and then changed to Clarrissa. What a great time to be on the pool today

Yes to Walker, Ravioli and to Pete Thomas (netsman) who could so easily have been the captor. I agree it should be a national holiday for those who hold a valid fishing License!
