Jake Wilkerson, from Witney, must be over the moon after banking his first 30lb carp from Linear's Manor Lake at Stanton Harcourt.

The fish, known as Cut Tail', registered 39.4.0 and took a Dynamite Baits Source 15mm boilie.

Jake, (pictured), who is on a work experience from Sparsholt College, also had carp weighing 17lb, 18.11.0 and 21lb from the water after targeting a bar about 60 yards out and spodding out particles and boiles.

He used 20lb Mainline X line, Korda Stiff Braid 15lb and a size 6 Korda wide gap hook.

How come we didn't have work experience like this when I was at school!
