This week saw two UK fifties grace the bank. The first was a 58lb mirror landed by Stuart Lennox from the infamous Holme Fen. The second was one of Carp-Talk’s Most Wanted, a fish known as Porky at 55lb landed by Matt Swan from Monks Pit. Further afield, Max Cottis topped a 40-fish catch from Croatia’s Lake Sumbar with an 83lb 2oz mirror.
