MYLES GIBSON
YEAR BORN: 1987
OCCUPATION: Tackle shop worker and Gardener
Myles Gibson is one of the most driven anglers we have ever come across. His desire to catch unique big carp is something that has made him successful as a big-fish-angler.
Despite his relatively young age, Myles has some of the country’s finest carp in his album.
He hails from the north west, and cut his teeth on some of the ultra-hard meres, before travelling south in search of bigger fish, where he targets lake such as Linch Hill, St Ives, and a few unknown big pits too.
Jim’s Carp – 51lb 7oz
Colin – 48lb 10oz
