A 3,500-mile journey, a week on one of Romania's most fascinating venues, and a session to remember for angling legend Steve Briggs.
Fishing Orlat Lake, Steve banked 16 carp during the trip, including 'The Godfather' at 68lb 8oz and the lake's impressive Black Carp at 80lb 8oz, a fish that reportedly put up an absolute battle before eventually finding the net.
The capture of the 68lb’er also marked a remarkable milestone for Steve, becoming the 11th different country in which he has landed a carp over 60lb. An incredible achievement that reflects years of dedication, travel and an unwavering passion for chasing special carp across Europe.
Throughout the trip, Steve fished Perfect Peach Wafters over Red Sea Squid and new test boilies.
Sixteen carp, two exceptional fish, and another chapter added to an already impressive angling journey.
Congratulations Steve 👏🎣
