    It doesn’t look that much smaller and it has that same shape. Great looking barbel

    Loss of fish haunting - redemption

    Not sure how to tell a male from a small female? I caught a 5-08 on Thursday, yesterday there was a 7-08, 10-10 and 12-02 caught. The 12-02 is 100% a different fish. We take a photo of all the barbel and log them. The aim is to build up a data base and an idea of population. So far the 12-02 I...

    There seems to be quite a few around there 5-8lb as well as the bigger ones. A mate caught that fish at Christmas and I weighed it for him, it was the same, just seems a strange shape

    It was a barbed Drennan barbel hook. Both came out easily with forceps. The one that broke of was in a strange position.

    I've been there :)! 2nd knee replacement now. It is awkward, I look at where I have to go and say to myself 'right, off you go' and hope I don't drop/spill it. 😂

    Loss of fish haunting - redemption

    I'm sure we have all lost a big fish we never saw and we keep living that feeling and experience? Well, I cannot get out much or go far because of my recent op but the weather Sunday was such that I had to - for a few hours at least.

    Digital scales

    I’ve used a set of those for a few years and find them superb. I like the 9V battery and although I carry a spare I’ve never needed it. They are very accurate and easy to use. I also carry a set of 9000’s as spare and test both regularly. I’d definitely recommend them

    Xmas pressy

    I'm looking forward to that as well! Some nice barbel and chub coming out ATM. We can sort out a date in March or if you can't wait before the 24th Jan as I'm having my other knee replaced.
