See size to weight guide used for catch and release so as not to cause any more distress to the fish. Your fish would be a uk best according to the overall length of 5ft 4in = 64 " As far as I'm aware the current British record is still the 46 lb fish caught from a Welsh reservoir but I could be mistaken as I thought one of 53 lb had been caught fairly recently but that would still be 13" smaller than the fish in the picture Edited October 3, 2021 by Winsford Soul 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

First time no camera, today misty, gloomy morning but i managed a silhouette of one getting mobbed by one of the local Crows, so its hopefully the start of the Red Kite invasion of this part of the county 4 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
