Your favourite shotJust thought I would ask you lads to put up your favorite Trophy shot and Scenic shot 
But also a bit of info on why its your favorite .....
if like me .....you have more than one ...please feal free to post them
Will start you off ..... with my favorite shot's from Lake Chira in Grand Cannaria
this is not my biggest carp from that lake, but I think it tells a story in the picture of the extreamly rocky conditions and how I used my bedchair as protection for the fish as its very hard to get all your tackle over to the lake when flying ..... so this makes it one of my favorite trophy shot from the lake ....infact I even had it drawn by a friend of mine as you can see from below
Here is my favourite scenic shot from the lake ....and also tels a story ....infact I have used it in a couple of articles about the lake ...saying here is the biggest fish from Chira ....it was made when the sun comes up and cast a shaddow of a slopping tree and peak of the rocks on the opposite bank ....forming the shape of a big fish

from Lac Du Der in France
from my last trip to this water in October 1997, a real beast of a Carp and one that I will allways rember catching, a) because me and my fishing partner George has some realy nice carp and also he had his very first 40 + carp from France b) it was a new PB for me at that time

My Favorite Capture shot is this because of my expression as the fish flapped
My favorite scenic
The one above is atmospheric, something that can't be described only felt but it brings back the good feeling every time I look at it

what local pit was that then cc ? |
It's a lake called redricks
It's now a day ticket and it's getting pretty busy but the fish still hasn't been out in over a year and a half
It's in Essex/Hertfordshire on the Harlow/Sawbridgeworth boarders
It'll be a easy catch if you put some effort into it - It doesn't see the high quality stamp of angler

ok m8 , i just wondered where it came from ,i know the harlow/sawbo area quite well , but that one slipped below the radar
