New world record carp for Dutch woman
The huge mirror is actually the new lake record with a weight of 72,82 lb.
Together with her boyfriend Nikki Henke a three day fishing session at Heron Lake (one of the lakes of Abbey Lakes/Etang les Abbayes) resulted in the record catch on november 30th.
Earlier this year a French angler caught the previous Abbey Lakes carp fishing record with a mirror weighing just a little bit less (33kg vs 33,1 kg).
FEMALE WORLD RECORD
Sandra's record catch actually is the new world record carp for women. Although not officialy registered, it seems like this mirror carp is the new world record.
