    Would I rather catch a BIG Rudd or a BIG Roach? Simple. Big Rudd everytime. They're gorgeous fish and I'm lucky to have caught both species to just over 2 1/2lbs.
    RIP JW. You're a true fishing Legend and sorely missed by your millions of fans.

    What a pity that true rudd of that size are so rare. There aren't many creatures that can compare with the beauty of a true rudd. They are quite demanding in their requirements, and, sadly, it seems to be beyond the will and wit of most clubs and fishery owners to create those conditions. So much easier to fill a water with ugly, plain F1 carp and ide to bring in money from the less than discerning anglers. Those that are so easily pleased repeatedly catching the same dull fish every week.

    amazing fish and amazing catch from the one and only John Wilson.
    Ive caught some nice rudd over a pound in the past but that fish is something else.
    hes a lucky man, a dedicated angler and i hope he enjoys his thai retirement.
    although i suspect fishing will feature highly in passing his latter years...

      Elstow pit no 1 doesn't exist anymore, it's been emptied and used for landfill for HS2 I believe! Such a shame as it was a mega prolific lake full of real lumps!

      @paulrudd3996 2 роки тому

      You’d have a job, Elstow pit 1, a local water to me, is very famous for never ever having a common carp in it, ever. Not even a widlie!
      Let alone a forty pounder! It produced almost 30 different carp that grew to over 40lb over the years but never a common. Every one was a mirror.
      Pit 2 next door has a few commons but the biggest has been a mid thirty, and that’s only been very recently.
