| CC Moore - Huge Rainbow Mirror falls to Odyssey XXX |

 We have just received a report of another huge Rainbow Lake fish that has fallen to Odyssey XXX. At the end of November this enormous 87lb 5oz mirror was caught by Dr. Henrik Ragnarsson Stabo, a fishery scientist from Sweden during his week-long trip to the famous French venue.  Details of the capture have only just reached us but Henrik told us:“It wasn't even a dream fish, because I have never even dreamt of catching anything of that size...the fish was incredibly wide. In fact, on the attached picture it was leaning on my chest - so it was a forearm wide! The date of capture was the 21st of November, in the afternoon when it was just 11 degrees (celsius) in the water. I caught it the day after scattering some 4-5 kilos of Odyssey-XXX (14-18mm) and a couple of kilos of Odyssey XXX pellets over a wide area between two bars. I used a double bait; one bottom-bait and one cork-dust wafter (both XXX). On unhooking the fish I watched as digested boilies poured out the back end of the fish whilst whole boilies could still be seen in front end of the carp!” As a fishery scientist based at the Swedish Board of Fisheries’ Institute of Freshwater Research, Dr. Ragnarsson Stabo clearly knows a good bait when he sees one – a bit like the massive Rainbow mirror. Our warmest congratulations go to Henrik on his fantastic result. We are delighted to hear of this superb result, which marks the third capture of a fish over 87lb during 2010 by an angler using CC Moore boilies - and all from different venues!
