After nothing but chublets this season, a change of venue and a few blanks on this out of form river resulted in this p.b. at 6,08

That's a 'clonking' Chub as Wilson would say . You can see it's still got some filling out to do as well over the next few months .
By far my favourite species

Wow fantastic! What a great specimen

 

[Paul Richardson]

Had this lump today
I won’t lie, I was deadbaiting and it picked up a full sardine
Fortunately I was on it quickly and it was hooked in the scissors - lovely fish

Frosty cold morning in Warwickshire today -4 at first light . I couldn't resist a couple of hours with a new batch of cheesepaste .

Managed a couple to 4.9 but they still have a lot of filling out to do yet ...

I had a dabble after a chub yesterday myself.....

I had this a few weeks ago on link ledgered paste, feeling for bites. A new pb at 6.13lb.

Size of its nogging
That’s an absolute cracker.

It was an incredible looking fish and almost carp like due to it's depth. Very much a "donkey" in stature.

If carlsberg do fishing days …. My goodness the stars aligned for me today.
29 chub every one a lump including 2 good 6’s and a float caught pb of 7lb 1oz

Isn’t it weird ……. Did exactly the same thing the other week when the river had 3-4 inches on and i couldn’t buy a bite yet today you would think i grossly over shot the float. Bizarre.

Anyway …… check out this monster of the day.
That’s a 4.5 inch conquest to give an idea of scale.

Well done Richard, cracking session and fish!

Thanks Ian
I enjoyed the video of your session from the bank on the small river.
