Is there another post on the subject?
I'm thinking a smallie in 4kg range will come out in the next few years.
Reason = Carp (sad but true)
These fish breed prolific and thus there is a lot of bait fish for the bass to chow. Secondly they destroy the bass nests which means less bass but larger ones because of the decrease in intraspecific competition. Short term this is good news but in the long term...?
Val rat is right , i think they most probaly got that fish around Rondegat , geez ive seen the photi its a monster , I know the tournament that happened like 2 weeks ago ther came out a couple in 3kg mark , Father and son Team, Raffels!!Gratz to Nico Retief. But this is old news guys knew about it on Sunday already. He caught it early sat morning on a Rapala Dt10. I would post the picture but I dont have his permission to do so.
Why would you want to kill one of the most intelligent freshwater species? Its people like you that partition against getting rid of the carp species... SIES

I AM ALL LIGHTEND UP BRU !!! no stress !!!!!!!Hey Valrath, hope nomad is your buddy, if not then I'm sorry we didn't get to hear about this as quickly as you did ..... jeez bud lighten up it's Friday!
ha ha ha too much BRANDY:blah:blah:blah@ HANNES... didnt you start a topic about "post 20lbs pics" in the carp section? Please do yourself a favour, before posting check your grammar, ok![]()
I'm not blaming Carp for anything merely stating the facts. Blaming carp for producing 4kg Smallies seems a bit hypocrytical on a Bass forum???i'm not attacking anyone, but why does everyone tend to blame the CARP for everything?
