The oldest Carp in the UK is dead! I understand today it is in Deep Freeze waiting to be mounted on display.
Can’t believe it has been in the national newspaper and TV News!
The newspaper said it weighed 64lb 2oz (29kg), however i don’t know where that source came from.

Being reported on the BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8183080.stm
