Cracking fish, cracking picture, love the big dorsal fin. Well done.

 

[Paul Whiteing]

Yes, a magnificent fish, well done. Just a shame the captor is not a BFW member or contributor

 

[Tom Mycroft]

Fabulous fish Stephen, well done.

Certainly a cracking fish Bill. Looks like it had an Otter near miss once.

In fairness, the fish is being thrust forward, so the scale isn't relative to the angler

 

[Mike Hodgkiss]

18lb is pretty huge to me ,thrusting forward or not ,it's a fantastic image

agree Chris, I don't like photos that make the fish look ridiculously massive, but its still a clonker !

 

[Damian Kimmins]

Did anyone see that 3lb goldfish on the news the other day?

I've seen

To be fair I was member of this syndicate two years ago when this fish was caught at 15plus it was bloody ginormous.

Don’t think it really matters where he is holding it in the photo
The chaps fingers show enough to scale that fish. It’s bloody enormous and would absolutely destroy anything I’ve ever landed …… with whiskers
Well done that man I’m chuffed for him.

Of course. I certainly don't doubt it's weight. It just seems more and more trophy shots are with the camera lens up close, or the fish held way forward.

True. Personally though I’d rather see the fish up close than the angler (apologies to some of the super models on the Forum).
