As most of you know I aim to keep a list of all the carp over 60lb. It's quite difficult as you don't always get good pictures of both sides of the fish. So here is my best estimation of the fish close to and over 60lb. Mr Magoo is the biggest fish at 78.8lb a fish and will do 80lb for sure. Moonscale is next best weight, 76lb, but more often out between 72-74lb. In addition, there are ten named fish well over 60lb and a further ten that at the right time of the year - spring and autumn - will do 60lb. My view is that this Autumn you will be fishing for three fish over 70lb and one of 80lb and a good number of big 60lb fish (15+).

Name Weight in 2019
The Torpedo 59lb
No Name 58lb (caught by Shaun Lee and Alex Chat) This is a young fish with two small very small round scales on its lower belly.
Shoulders 58lb (caught by Greg Lewis). I have seen this fish a few times at low 50lb.
I think four or five of these fish will be 60lb in the autumn of 2020.
