Premiership star banks new best carp!

Premiership star Tony Hibbert is the latest footballer to hit the big carp scene after he banked a 32lb 6oz mirror.

The Everton defender has never scored a goal for the Merseysiders but showed he can hit the back of the net when it comes to fishing with a personal best catch from Lake Chria, in the Canaries.

Tony used a snowman rig consisting of  15mm Dynamite Fresh Fish boilie and a bright yellow pop-up, presented over a bed of pellets.
