Venue: Moulin de Bley, France

Species: Common Carp

Weight: 40 lb 5 oz

Bait: Other Pro fish pop ups over mixed size pro fish freebies

Tackle and Rig: 3lb Hutchy Sabres, ss3000s, 17lb x-line, jonny mac rig

Story: My first trip to france with a group of friends resulted in over 170 fish between eight of us, the most in 1 week from the venue so far this year. I managed top-rod with 43 fish, and the only angler on the pro-fish :-) Keeping it simple with pro-fish pop-ups and topping up the spot with a few handfuls of mixed size freebies after each fish. This common was my largest fish, I also had 13 other 30's to 39.12, grassys to 36.12, and cats of 48 and 68 - all on the pro fish.
