4 CommentsAlex Hager’s all-time Top 5 carp on The Source
It’s fair to say Alexander Hager is big fan of The Source! The Austrian carper has caught a very impressive list of fish since first using the The Source over 8 years ago.
We recently asked him to pick his all-time top 5 Source stunners, or as Alex describes them… “Source Whackers”!
In chronological order, here’s what he chose…
Catch date: September 2012
Weight: 59lbs
This was Alex’s first ever carp over 25kg. Caught in a notorious syndicate called the “Virgin Lake” this stunning common was the biggest known fish in the venue at the time
Catch date: May 2014
Weight: 55lbs
Having fished his local gravel pit “Schottergrube Hollywood” for over 8 years this was Alex’ first carp from the water over the 20kg mark
Catch date: July 2016
Weight: 62lbs
“I caught this legendary fish known-as “Neptune” for the second time (the first time was one year early with 55lbs). At the time this was biggest known common in this venue, in my hardcore home pit “Skeleton water”
Catch date: April 2018
Weight: 61lbs
This cracker was also caught from the “Skeleton water” and is the 3rd biggest carp of Alex’s life
Catch date: October 2018
Weight: 70lbs
This awesome mirror is Alex’s PB and first carp over 30kg. The fish known as “Gandalf” had been missing and presumed dead for over 2 years. It’s also Alex’s number one top fish in this list!
“It was the first fish over 30kg in this venue, and this is a true hardcore water and the most challenging fishing in my life”. Alex Hager
