New pb barbel

[Richard Isaacs]

Before jumping to conclusions….. it was caught March 7th.

I wasn’t able to share the photograph until yesterday when it was published in our clubs magazine (historic rule)

Anyway it’s a pb barbel for me.
I don’t normally post about my captures in any detail and I’m certainly not one for taking pictures of everything I catch but in special cases I’ll go to the effort and this one certainly fit the criteria.

I went through a good 5 or 6 blanks before she picked up my double 20mm home made boilies

We have a no publicity rule on our syndicate water but I know the lads in this particular case would make a little exception for me given it was the biggest barbel I’ve ever caught.

Weight 16,09

No. It’s a private club and an internal magazine. We don’t sell the pictures we just keep them under raps until the magazine is distributed

That's a beast of a barbel Richard - well done sir
Guessing Darren was saying that as you've posted it in the classified section

Hopefully my good pal @Paul Whiteing will spot what a pillock I am and put it right.

Can non members buy a copy ? Be an extra bit of revenue for the club, just a thought.

When you told me (privately) about it in March you were excited, for good reason. But I think it funny that you now posted in the wrong forum

I might leave it for a while? ........ oh, ok, perhaps not. I'll move it for you

Superb catch Richard.
