TEENAGER Liam Simpson set a new club record for the biggest fish caught in a Hyde Park Angling Club, Dronfield contest held at Woodland Lakes near Thirsk. Liam (14) hooked a monster carp weighing 22 lbs 5 ozs on a tiny size 20 hook and a maggot. It took the youngster only five minutes to land the fish, which was also the biggest fish ever weighed at the Thirsk fishing complex. The contest was eventually won by Steve Glossop with a magnificent 41 lbs 12 ozs and the 34 anglers involved weighed in a total catch of 550 lbs of fish.
