Who was Anthony King?

Talented match angler and nice guy Anthony (pictured above) sadly died at the end of June after a battle with cancer.

Back in July 2007 he set the Makins’ Match Record during one of the regular Nisa matches with 303 lb 12 oz.

Anthony achieved  it with carp caught from peg B10 on Lake Two, caught on the Method feeder.

Makin’s King – Anthony King, who died in June.

Almost exactly three years later, again on Lake Two (peg B13) he increased it to 345 lb 8 oz.

That time Anthony started on the Method feeder then switched to pole/paste… caught between his keepnets after he spotted carp swirling there!
