From The Evening Telegraph:
Today anglers and children around the country are mourning the loss of the 25-year-old common carp who passed away in the Kingfisher Lake near Peterborough on Wednesday.
Benson ha[d] grown to a staggering 64lbs and been caught by more than 60 anglers across the world.
He has also brought fame to his home at Kingfisher Lakes and to himself – for being the most famous fish in the country.

Ouch, that's a heck of a record to have been caught over sixty times!! Guess the old carp wasn't too sharp. You would think that with age comes wisdom. . . but I suppose this fish was a different story.
Reading the whole article brings it to light. Thats a lot of work to find out why a fish died too. Wow. RIP fish man
Benson was a he? And tiger nuts for bait? What are tiger nuts?
Benson had entertained quite a number of anglers.
Here is a link to Tiger Nuts ...

He must have been important for them to do so much research as to why he died... guess there is such thing as a famous fish after all. Watch out Flipper and Shamoo, Benson the fish is giving yall a run for your money!
Totally devastating news...RIP Benson....safe in the arms of Molly Sugden
Sad to see the big girl go, that is one large fish,
MLH:
Maybe Tiger Nuts are what's left after gelding.
