Did you know chaps that on the 24th July 1930 (83 years ago today) Mr. Albert Buckley caught his record 26lb carp from Mapperley.

I did yes, I've just read about it.

I wonder who the young lad was who transported it to the Taxidermist for him and If he's still alive today?

I admit I didn't. It was quite a feat on roach tackle too.
