My first road trip of the year sees me fishing one of the most famous carp waters in Germany, home of the former world record common. It was planned as a two-week visit but is extended to three due to the infamous virus, my longest ever carp fishing session. Known locally as 'die hard lake', it starts off in a sad way as I find the venue's biggest carp dead on my first day, a massive common of 83lb. It then picks up with some nice carp coming my way, including several 20kg fish, topped by an ancient 50-pounder known as Nemo. I cover tactics and talk about the meaning that big fish have on compulsive carp anglers. The trip also covers 48-hours on a nearby forest lake to break up the tough fishing, where I'm fortunate to land a stunning mirror known as The Dark One.
