A giant carp that eluded fishermen in Britain for decades has been found dead.
The mirror carp, called 'Two Tone' was nicknamed "the marriage wrecker" and was blamed for the breakdown of four marriages as anglers devoted years to its capture.
The 45-year-old fish was found floating in Conningbrook Lake in Kent, south-east of London, and is believed to have died of old age.
Anglers across Britain are sending in tributes to the fish, which will be given a funeral next to the lake on Sunday.
Two Tone's weight peaked at 67 pounds (30kg) when it was caught in 2008.
"A couple of anglers called to say they'd seen a big carp floating dead on the surface which they thought might be Two Tone, so my son and I went straight over to investigate. Sure enough it was the old boy - I was gutted," Conningbrook fisheries manager Chris Logsdon told Britain's Angling Times magazine.
"He'd had a hard winter followed by a tough spring, but there wasn't a blemish on him - no scars, ulcers or any other sign of damage. He was just old.
"It's very sad, the end of an era, because Two Tone was part of carp fishing history. He was stocked into the lake at 12 pounds in 1982 and no English fish came close to toppling his record from 2001 onwards."
^^ You can eat them but the poms don't, in fact of all the many species of fresh water fish that are caught virtually all of them are put back. If you were to kill a fish like that over there and it got out you would be vilified unmercifully.
Carp are the most eaten of fresh water fish world wide. They taste exactly like mud unless they are held in fresh water for a while, bit like yabbies. Then they taste like muddy gelatin. The bones are quite unique, splitting into two.
Not much good can be said about them, allthough when in Holland many years ago I saw a porno with a bloke standing in a carp pond with a carp on the end of his knob, so I guess in really deparate times a use can be found
