What a monster. Shame it was caught by a carp angler, but a stunner none the less.

That is a very big bream and it could grow much, much bigger

if you mean best ever bream bait I would have to say red maggot, if you mean the bait you caught your own best bream on then mine @ 11lb7oz it was double corn on a hair and groundbait feeder .

Nice Bream.
Also, isn't it a great compliment that TCF have to come to the best fishing website in an attempt to improve their own hit rate!

That's a hell of a fish!
I would say my best bream have come on either red maggots, caster or worm.

I've never caught a bream on a deadbait so I'd have to say that is the best bream bait ever.:wh

Nice fish. 'kin huuuuuge!
Can I also say I am very happy to see use good of the word 'flaps' on the forum. It is a very underused word and more likely to be heard exclaimed by a young lady during the early hours of the morning on a beach in Ibiza, as in, "Careful, er...whatever your name is, I'm getting sand in mi flaps!"

A couple of weeks ago I had a walk round my local club water choosing my peg for the following morning, with a nice Bream being the target.
The only person fishing was a Carp Angler, as I approached his left hand alarm went off and a far better Bream than I’ve ever landed came to the net. Certainly not in the same league as this fantastic fish but as big as they reputedly go in this water and had to be close to 2lb bigger than my best.
The Carp Angler’s disappointment with the Bream was only matched by my envy.
What bait are you using I asked, only to be shown a hair rigged black plastic fake snail with a luminous piece of plastic the size of a maggot.
So I’m very interested in everyone’s best bait tips as my worm, caster, maggot, corn & hemp etc, looks to be out-fished with bits of plastic!

Lovely fish - I want it...
I've gone back to large chunks of bread flake this year, with feeders of liquidised bread and had some very big bream...
Still can't stop the odd nuisance carp picking up the bait tho.
