The Wood Common - a legendary UK CARP

[@gdb99238]

Well Simon. I have watched this before and loved it. I put it on again this morning (Boxing Day) for my 79 year old Mam and she absolutely loved it. When you lifted the Wood Common up she was flabergasted. So...thanks for entertaining me Mam!!!

A true and worthy Knee Knocking specimen of a Carp,well done to you as you said most anglers would avoid such a swim
leaving it to the worth type who know their watercraft.

[@SimonCrow]

colin cowell Thanks Colin

[@stevem987]

Well in Simon, well deserved, one of the best that swims, looks like a lovely little pool as well, any plans on going back for the long common?

[@SimonCrow]

Thanks mate, yeh I will do next year for defo, it's such a tricky lake though I won't hold my breath lol

[@lukeframpton3671]

Spot on crowy top man

[@SimonCrow]

Luke Frampton Thanks luke

[@englishfam9675]

What did you catch it on I would use maggots or casters on a lake like that with that many naturals learnt that from Terry Hearn

[@medicatedflowers821]

Depends if the fish is known too come out on bait or naturals some will love a boilie some will avoid them at all costs that’s part of the puzzle you need too find out in that water or for that fish

[@MrDorsetD]

Superb footage 👍

[@SimonCrow]

Thanks mate

[@MrDorsetD]

@@SimonCrow You're welcome, it's a once in a lifetime event!

[@lukesweeney2680]

Superb fish! Just a quick question, when casting your supple rigs.. do you use a foam nugget or pva stick to straighten your rig out on the drop? Ive found that the bait drops on top of the lead myself using foam!

[@SimonCrow]

Luke Sweeney Neither mate, I just feather the cast or use the clip to straighten it 👍

Thanks for replying buddy. Good to know👍

Carl Gee Northwestern fishing. Thanks Carl

[@mattiemclean9882]

I noticed that in the video you filmed a few seconds of a full moon then caught a huge common... I have had so many experiences and so have my fishing pals where big commons have been caught on a full moon. Too many for it to be a coincidence... do you think there is anything in this ?? Great catch btw

[@SimonCrow]

Mattie Mclean Thanks Mattie, I need a bit more theory with moon phases. I’m not writing them off but I’ve not seen conclusive evidence they have an effect on carp in Lakes 👍

[@mattiemclean9882]

@@SimonCrow Yes I'm with you in that sense... no conclusive evidence as such...I think either Rod Hutchinson or Tim Paisley wrote an article on it once (?) but I cant remember which book/publication it was in! All the best.

[@Sharky-Spence]

Good on you Si, what an absolute incredible creature. Big up to you, what a capture! I hope your well mate. 👍

[@SimonCrow]

Cheers Spence, yeh mate, I'm on cloud nine at the min, hope you're still getting out mate

[@Sharky-Spence]

I bet mate, taken back by its beauty and colouring. One of the nicest carp in the country, without doubt!! Still doing a little bit now and again, so still keeping my eye in mate, even if most of my fishing is done in the sea. Best wishes to you and yours. 👍
