Re: BUSHLEY 20 POUND PIKE PHOTO ?it's the norm for this website Ian....take a look at some of the barbel and the silly weights that anglers have stated on those. 15lb middle severn, and 16lb Avon fish. Give me strength.

Re: BUSHLEY 20 POUND PIKE PHOTO ?I have to admit it doesn't matter to me if people are overstating weights,but whenever I talk to other angler's on the bank it's usually the first thing that comes up . Hopefully the more you guys keep posting on the subject it will stop happening so much

Re: BUSHLEY 20 POUND PIKE PHOTO ?To be fair, if it's publicity the captors are after (especially the barbell) then send them into the weekly mags as a 15/16lb Warks Avon barbel is front page stuff!

Indeed. As proven by Doherty and his supposed 17.9 from last year. After a spell with bream, he's now moved on to faking chub weights.

Re: BUSHLEY 20 POUND PIKE PHOTO ?why do people do it ??? is it just a guestimate weight ? do they have inaccurate scales ? is it just rounded up to the nearest weight that looks good ? is it weighed in a 4 pound keepnet wet ?? or s

Re: BUSHLEY 20 POUND PIKE PHOTO ?I'm a pleasure angler, and don't particularly target specific species - but I did find myself fishing a venue, holding mainly carp, and for a couple of years I spent most of my fishing outings there. It wasn't a commercial fishery, but it was rumoured that a few of the fish went to about 25lb. I'm 54 years old and I've been fishing since I was about 8. . . . . . . and I have never caught a fish of 20lb or above. I've had lots of fish from this venue, and lots of them have been mid teens, but my two biggest were 19lb 6oz & 19lb 12oz. . . . . . . I could have taken photo's of either of them, and they'd have passed off as 20's. . . . . . . . . I don't know what I'm really trying to say here, maybe it's just that I can't understand why somebody would blatantly lie about the size of a fish - they're only fooling themselves. I would love to say I'd caught a 20 - but I know. . in my heart . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I'm still four f**kin' ounces off it.
