Radical test angler catches new American carp record

 

Radical test angler catches new American carp record at 54lb 8oz!

Quantum Radical test fisherman Raphaël Biagini submitted us his latest report: "I am very happy to announce that I had the incredible opportunity to catch the biggest carp ever caught by a carp angler with modern fishing techniques (Catch and Release) in the U.S.A.! This historic catch happened in New Jersey State on Sunday, in the morning of November 11th, on the bank of a “small” river. I might add that what I call a small size here is a bit different from what we know as small in Europe.

Unfortunately I cannot reveal the exact location because I have to keep the name of this river a secret out of respect to the local anglers, who were kind enough to share their knowledge with me. In addition carp fishing in the United States is not like it is practised in Europe: the catch and release concept is not widespread here (while bow hunting for carp seems to be more common), it would be regrettable if this fish could not live in peace.

This amazing specimen is a common carp, 98 cm long with a weight of 54 lb 8 oz (24.7 kg)! After an amazing fight and lots of great pictures taken I had the pleasure to put her back in her natural environment… A magic moment!

Radical-Carp newcomer Tobias Krämer embarked on a night session on a large German gravel pit in the Ruhr area to test some new boilies for the 2014 season - and bagged a brace of giant carp.

Krämer landed the first, a huge common carp of 25.1 kg (55 lb 6'), in the late afternoon using a Radical-Honey tiger nut topped with an artificial tiger nut over the area which he baited up before.

The next morning brought another colossal common that tipped the scales at 27 kg (55 lb 9') after taking a 20mm Vampire Garlic test boilie.

With the new Radical baits about to be launched on the market, this latest result is further evidence of the high quality and attraction of Radical Boilies.
