We’re thrilled to announce a new lake record for Common carp at Aqua-Paradiso! On August 13, 2022, angler Mario Swart set a new milestone by landing a stunning Common carp weighing 45.3 lbs.
Mario achieved this incredible catch using a 12mm pop-up from Sticky Baits’ Signature range, placed over a Simple Particle Mix. The rig of choice was a Spinner rig from Korda, paired with a #4 Kurv Shank hook.
But that wasn’t all – shortly after landing the lake record, Mario hooked another impressive catch, a 41-pounder, with the rig only in the water for 25 minutes! For this second catch, he used Korda’s Loops and Booms along with a #6 Wide Gape hook and a 12mm Pop-up from DNA Baits.
Congratulations to Mario for these outstanding achievements and for setting a new standard at Aqua-Paradiso. Here’s to more record-breaking moments and successful sessions!
