60LB+ UK COMMON – CAN THEY CATCH IT?
We head to the home of possibly the biggest common carp in the UK, the beautiful Waterside Fishery in Chesham, Buckinghamshire!
Aptly named the Big Common, this colossal beast achieved a top weight of 68lb back in May 2024 and is widely regarded as one of the most-coveted open-access carp in the country, so there was little wonder Lee ‘Mozza’ Morris and big-carp hunter, Simon Crow, jumped at the opportunity when the venue became available!
Mozza has been targeting a 60lb-plus common carp since his capture of the Lord of the Manor at 60lb 5oz in February 2023, with the Big Common at the very top of his target list, so as you can imagine, he is buzzing with anticipation.
But the question is, can the boys catch it?
Over the course of the film, Mozza and Crowy talk us through their approach to targeting big carp in general, and how they feel they can single out this particular fish and potentially earn themselves a place in the record books!
With so many crayfish present within the lake, the lads have a problem to overcome and, with so much at stake, they can’t afford to get it wrong. With plastic baits banned at Waterside, how will they get around it and potentially get through to the Big Common?
