Hi all, just wonder if there are any gudgeon hunters out there that can help?
Last year while fishing a local canal for roach, i caught a gudgeon which was 7" long. Do you think this could have been a record? I know the record stands at 5oz i think!!  Thanks! -------------------- Shane Banks

Hi Shane, welcome to Angler's Net.
Congratulations on your gudgeon. I suspect in your area that's a whopper. It's big too down here in Kent, but we're fortunate in having outsize gudgeon like this in quite a few of our waters. I've not weighed any big gudgeon. Has anyone any idea how much Shane's fish would have gone? -------------------- Classic Fishing Books www.classicfishingbooks.co.uk 100s of fishing books for sale/wanted + reviews

As I am at present in Texas, I haven't access to my files of weight/length ratios, so this is from memory. I will check the figures out when I get home.
I would expect a gudgeon of 7" to weigh about two and a bit ounces. A record gudgeon would be over 9" long. Because the usual size of these mini species is so small, anything a bit bigger looks huge - but is often well short of the "record" -------------------- Vagabond.

If it was a gudgeon I would say you threw the record back.A three inch gonks classed a good one by around our way.
