Re: I reckon that's my lot.....

“Red Spot” shows us all what great fishing is possible on a baa card, hopefully she will still be around for a few years yet, as she is easily identified in photos the fish chasers queue up for pegs the next day!
Perhaps people don’t blab about locations (or claim records) to try stop the trophy hunters.

I think you saying “ knowing what a easy fish it is to catch” is a little bit dismissive of the time and effort some people put in.

Hornytoad this fish has been caught a number of times and it has even come out at 18lb. People are aware of where it was caught. So ask your self this question?
Why now has it gone public that such a fish has been caught. When all the other people that have caught it have stayed silent ?

Re: I reckon that's my lot.....

What I find odd about this well known barbel. That has been caught many times in the past that it has even been caught and weighed at some time in the past at 18 lb.

The present record is 16lb 11 ozs why no one has put in a claim for the Severn record, When this 18 lb fish would easily break the present record.
Perhaps because knowing what a easy fish it is to catch and how many times its been caught in the past. The record could keep changing from one day to the next. Lets see if it turns out to be another '' Red Spot''

Rob its a well known fish and has been caught many times before from the Kinver stretch at Kempsey.Perhaps that explains why no one has tried to claim it as a record fish ?

Re: I reckon that's my lot.....

Given the amount of rain we have had its been a good season with some big barbel coming out of the Lower Severn.that 17lb 12oz fish come out at Kempsey on the Kinver stretch, Also had reports of some big fish coming out at Severn Stoke. Lets hope the weather is kind to us between now and the end of season smiling

Re: Red Spot ?

Perhaps it should be renamed '' The Traveler '' Knowing how it goes up and down the severn from Tewkesbury, Birds meadow, Ripple, Severn Stoke and all the way up to the KFL stretch at Kempsey.
