Nigel, could the second and third fish be of the same? I can see a mark just below the dorsal that appears to be the same/similar on both barbel, what are your thoughts?

 

[Steve Prince]

Nigel, cracking session, I'm sooooooooooooo jealous

 

[Bill Walford]

Wow...
I would give my wifes left arm for a 16 pounder , probably both arms for two

I've put all three into photoshop and the second and third fish (in order of capture) have different shaped pelvic fins. If you look closely you'll see that the one taken in the dark has a kink in its leading edge.

As regards the two caught in daylight, whilst there's a slightly different angle because one of the fish has its head turned away from the camera, the shape of the head on the other looks much longer and flatter, in my opinion.

Great feat whether or not recaptures, there cannot be many that have achieved a dream session like this and tbh it blows my mind! Well done that man...

 

[Mark Nicholls]

Wow - mind-blowing
Many congratulations Nigel - stuff of dreams.

 

[David Gauntlett]

Bleeeedin heck That has got to be one of the best barbel captures of all time, certainly in that time span, surely? Absolutely well done that man. You must have tripped over a horse shoe, with a black cat on your shoulder, and one foot in dog poo

Great stuff fella, congratulations. Get them in every competitions going, that has GOT to win

If you could just PM me the swim, bait and method

Cheers, Dave.

 

[Dennis Poole]

[Ray Walton]

[Peter Robinson]

Absolutely mind-blowingly amazing.Well done Nigel.Not jealous in the slightest...........now where's those golf clubs

Regards
Pete.

 

[Mick Holtom]

[Mark P Smith]

ray, the daylight pics are 16lb and 16lb 8oz the other 16lb 8oz is the one in the dark, i know nigels scales arn`t out by 8oz as we fish together and have checked each others to see if they are the same.

 

[Nigel Bryans]

Hi Ray,there is an 8oz difference between those fish mate.Its really about the fish that looks pale and the night time fish.They both weighed 16.8.
Thanks.
