Nick Harrison, 43, who works for tackle company Total Angling, put his experience to good use by recording a fantastic hat-trick of massive carp at Linear Fisheries’ Stanton Harcourt waters.

The Shrewsbury angler caught seven fish in a session on Unity Lake, three of which were huge doubles.

He captured specimens of 31lb and 38.14.0, along with a 43lb mirror known as Moonscale, a new mirror lake record, and a 43.15 common.

The trio are the three biggest in the lake and were caught one after another.

Successful bait was Mainline essential cell opal boilies over a baited area of cell opal.

The business end was a stiff hinged rig, 2” choddy style, but onto a 4” stiff boom.
