See size to weight guide used for catch and release so as not to cause any more distress to the fish. Your fish would be a uk best according to the overall length of 5ft 4in = 64 " As far as I'm aware the current British record is still the 46 lb fish caught from a Welsh reservoir but I could be mistaken as I thought one of 53 lb had been caught fairly recently but that would still be 13" smaller than the fish in the picture Edited October 3, 2021 by Winsford Soul 1

Popular Post Winsford Soul Posted October 5, 2021 Popular Post Posted October 5, 2021 Just had a very special and extremely rare encounter with a countryside fox , they are so different than the urban foxes that you see in every town and city across the country and are one of the most difficult animals to photograph .

Popular Post Winsford Soul Posted October 8, 2021 Popular Post Posted October 8, 2021 Where i stay in Pembrokeshire must be the least populated area for Red Kites in the whole of the County, 10 miles away in the Preseli Hills there are plenty so this week i,ve been lucky enough to see two actually fly over the cottage where i,m staying. First time no camera, today misty, gloomy morning but i managed a silhouette of one getting mobbed by one of the local Crows, so its hopefully the start of the Red Kite invasion of this part of the county 4
