I thought it was huge but my mate (Budgie Burgess) said it was only a small one and that I would probably catch a bigger one later; I later caught an 8lb+ Barbel but it is the first one that I will always remember most; it was that one that made me a Barbel convert for life.

 

NB. Caught on a B. James & son Richard Walker MKIV Avon rod and Mitchell 300 reel coupled with 8lb line and a size 4 hook.
