Wow!

Eating wild caught fish is good for my health, reduces food miles and keeps me fit trying to catch them........it's my choice to do it, not yours to stop me!

Sorry to contradict Ken...Denmark's record salmon was a little bigger weighing in at 26.5 kgs caught by D C Dinesen, Easter 1954. It fell to a devon spinner on Skjernaa (River Skjern) Here's a picture of it...

But this is certainly the largest one caught for a heck of a long time and quite by chance it was caught on my local river...Storaaen. It was caught about 10 kilometres upstream from where I have a shack by the river so who knows how close to catching it I've been!

 

Since the 20.1 kg one another one, a shade lighter has been caught! Again not far away from me. My club has spent thousands of pounds and volunteered uncountable hours in getting the fish stocks back to where they where in the 50's, with massive restocking programs among other things Coincidentally, I sent in an article some time ago which Elton kindly published. Anyone interested can find it in "Miscellaneous Articles" title: "Viking Trials and Tribulations"

Cheers...Jon
