Simon

Fair play, Simon. Awesome angling, son. Well chuffed for you. And well done for putting them up on here. We need to see the fish, so thanks very much mate.

Here are the photos of Simon's beast. Note - this is the THIRD 30lb+ common to come out this season. They're going up in weight. John Grubb had a 30lb 3oz, Mick the Chip had a 32lb 8oz, and Simon's had this stunner at 33lb 8ozs. This is the new lake record, and can only be a fantastic thing for Tardebigge Reservoir.

Well done to Luke for helping, too. Nice one mate. It's what we want to see down the Res.

Well done Simon. Superb matey !!!!! WHAT A BEAST OF A FISH ..............

nice one Keith lad tidy darts butt

I think you're due a "tidy darts, butt" for THAT fish. WOW !!!!

Simon congrats mate, a new P.B. and a lake record it can't get much better than that! top angling and here's to your next thirty. The Led Zeppelin reference? Your expression on the photos reminds me of a certain song of theres, "Been dazed and confused for so long it's not true, landed a 30 a lake record too!" Rock on Tommy!

Well done Simon stunning fish , you can just imagine what tarde is going to be like in another couple of years, absolutely stunning place with stunning big fish a pleasure to be a member ( even if I haven't wet a line there yet lol )

Wicked mate. Top angling.

Is that a "known" 30 or a new one?

cheers gents for your kind comments see you all up there soon
dont think so waiting to see if Davvy had this one last year around 28lb mark,not to sure if it a new one or not, but its a new one for me!!!!!

just wanted you all to see it go back always one of the best bits for me...

Wicked Mate, well done and that last shot is just the icing on the cake. The perfect end to a magnificent triumph!

Yea awesome fish and great pics mate. Moments like this dont come around very often but make all the effort worthwhile. Congratulations si

well done kidda looks a cracking fish

si it was an absolute pleasure photographing 'the beast'!!!!!!!!!!! it just shows that patience is a virtue lads.for me personally it was unbelieveable to see a thirty in the flesh let alone a 33lb 8oz lake record.good work si and an hour later si took some pictures for me i had a 19lb 9oz common and then a bit later on a pb mirror at 21lb 6oz which si deaks has the pictures of.hopefully the 2 si's could pop the pictures up for me as im not to good with computers.well done again si and lets get um going

no worries about that Luke i'll put the pictures up later when im back from work mate......

Well done Simon ! cracking fish & great photos too ! i love the photo of you returning the fish ! Thats three different 30+ commons this year,its looking good for the future .
