Big Carp – Big News! It’s been a month of big changes here at Bountyhunter, but before I tell you all about that, here’s what I’ve got for you in this month’s incredible Big Carp. Prolific catcher, Ian Stott, is back this month and for the foreseeable future, and he’s been haulin’. He’s had a record-breaking month with an absolute stack of monster carp from two venues – more than a dozen thirties and a catchall of forties too, topped off by a near 50lb mirror and a 48lb-plus common. Add to that a mid-forty ghostie and you can see why we are so excited to have his exclusive diary. Not only that, but we are proud to announce that Bountyhunter will be publishing Ian’s book early next year, and we are saving loads of unpublished chapters for that. Ian’s will be the first in a series of books entitled ‘Big Carp Hunters’ – a series to celebrate Big Carp’s 200th issue next year. Quickly, while on the subject of books, the next in the Legends series is out very shortly – Albert Romp, which will be followed by Mike Wilson, two great anglers that we know very little about. They are very different books… Albert’s, as you would expect, is full of funny stories and anecdotes, after all the ‘Savay Looney Rota’ was named after Albert by Rod Hutchinson, whilst Mike, the quiet ‘gentleman’ carp angler, spent 20 years on Savay before a soul knew anything about it! Both their life histories make fascinating reading.
