Is this the largest Crucian Carp caught from Hull & District waters?

The fish was caught from Burshill A on May 27th by Adrian Porter at a weight of 3lb 8oz. There was a delay in reporting the capture due to Adrian having problems with his computer and a further delay on my part in featuring the capture for which I apologise.

Adrian stated that he fish measured 19 inch's long by 11 inch deep. In the photographs he tried to give some idea of size by positioning the butt of his rod at the tail and the drag of the reel at the nose of the fish. Adrian has spoken to several people who believe that it is a true Crucian, it also looks to be a very old fish.

The fish was caught on double red maggot over a bed of sensas magic groundbait on a day when it was absolutely peeing down stated Adrian, but everytime it stopped raining I had another bite! Caught lots of Bream and Tench on the day too.

Adrian was by himself on the day so the photos are of the fish in his net which is a 22 inch pan net.

Unfortunately due to the lack of a witness Adrian was unable to be put forward for either the Catch of The Month or Specimen Fish competitions he is also unable  to claim the club record for the species.

However Adrian believes this is the largest Crucian caught from an association water, do you know different?
