Couldn't agree more. Fantastic to know that such fish are out there in rivers perhaps not naturally thought of as being home to such beasts. You can't beat a bit of fishy mystery. The last thing that should be done is give this fish a name.
If it was the Mersey, surely it must have been foul-hooked as it floated by, belly-up!
You joke, but it was found dead Saturday morning approx 1/2 mile downstream from where it was last known to have been caught. I know the guy very well who found it (who is an angler), and have seen the pics he took on his mobile phone, (he walks his dog along the stretch). He did drag its corpse onto dry land but the recent rains washed it back in again. Would have been a nice fish to have set up. A great shame, loss to the river and barbel fishing. RIP Split Pec.
Could only have come from the River Pinn.........
