The big guy certainly has some cracking fish John, that's for sure.

That's a great picture , and not that it matters, but to my eyes the fish looks a lot bigger than 12lbs . Anyway well done , a beauty .

Terrific looking Barbel and a great photo, the face say's it all to me. Congratulation Mark. Also agree with Mike H, it looks bigger.

Thanks guys . I did do a little (rather large) jump for joy when I slipped the net under her. She gave a cracking scrap and took me on a bit of a cabbage patch tour. Nick you're right she is a long fish. I had a slightly larger fish off the Loddon at the weekend, but it was much shorter and dumpier than this Bw fish.
