r.i.p. benson the carp


anglers the whole world over are mourning the death of great britain's most famous fish, benson. she was a 25+ year old carp weighing in at 64 pound, that had been hooked, weighed and photographed more than 60 times. fishermen came from all over europe to try their luck at landing the iconic fish, but last week she was found floating in bluebells lake.now she is in a freezer awaiting the taxidermist's mount.maybe they hooked her one time too many.rumor has it, an angler poisened her with nuts.
