After 40 years of live a fish should be at least getting on for 70lb? just like the one from France that was caught by Paul hunt.  But in this country I'm not sure  |

Dunno about average age over here, would've guessed at about 30 as an average. I know I've been lucky enough to catch 3 different fish over 40 yrs old  ..BTW none of em were approaching 70lb |

Thats not very old for a carp, especially when a 70lb carp can grow to a right old age of 80 years old in France and south Africa  Now thats old, even a human can struggle to live that long these days with every day stress of live. But the stress for a carp must be even more as being hunted by these ugly two legged aliens that keep taking it out of it's domain every time with a hook and line,then put back confusing for Mr and miss carp don't you think? |
