I have a picture of the picture of the supposid 24lb 1oz Trent Fish.

I hope BFW don't mind but i have used the picture of the 15lb Ribble record for comparison as they look very simular in size.

Take a look and make your own mind up....

To make sure there is no confusion the first picture is of the Trent fish.

24lb?! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha - where do these people come from?! Thanks for posting the picture Jason, made my day that has!

Is the right hand one the Ribble fish? That does look the bigger of the two quite easily.

*Edit - just read you message properly.

Both big fish but you can't get your hands round the girth of a 16lb plus fish as much as shown in this pic. 24lb? No.

I wasn't going to post the picture but thought "sod it", after looking through the river record section and seeing the Ribble fish (a good honest photo) i thought what the hell

I agree with Stephen, the Ribble fish looks bigger to me also......Could this be the age old "Avon Scale " problem, ie miss counting the revolutions of the scale ! ?..assuming Avons were of course used ! ? ...mind you, and I've never caught a Barbel anywhere near the size to judge, I wouldn't be convinced if you tried to tell me that the fish weighed 16lb !!....cynic...

More likely the 'Trent scale' problem.

I'd say its the age old problem of miscounting the revolutions of the scales, plus forgetting to deduce the weight of the landing net, and also standing on the fish's tail while weighing it.
