Yes, sadly the "Black Mirror" along with most of the other stock species! I remember seeing a pic of a haul of big Perch that TH caught, awesome fish! Indeed one of the top Carp anglers of all time.............

If Terry ever caught a UK record it could never be seen as a one off bit of luck could it ?

A lot of the members of this site are "old school" anglers and seem to be inspired by the likes of walker et all.

Being of a younger generation Terry Hearn is a source of great inspiration to me i enjoy reading about his angling exploits. Along with martin bowler i think these anglers are todays modern greats.

(the burghfield common..........................what a truly stunning fish!)

Yes, he held the record for about 2 years until the same fish came out slightly heavier. I believe that, at least since the Bob Richards record fish in '51, that the record has never been beaten while the previous record fish was still alive.

(the burghfield common..........................what a truly stunning fish!) It certainly was Danny, and Burghfield lake is an incredable lake to fish

Indeed! Here is Terry!

Not Terry, but an awesome pic of the BM with Dave Lane, who is another great Carp angler!

And to think I must have fished Burghfield Lake well over a hundred times during the 80's and 90's a never caught it once.

BB I can't remember the details, but Terry did a lot of hours on the water. As I remember Terry caught many other Carp before the Common, just like ticking off a list until he reached his goal, amazing angling!
