I'll go for 1lb 14oz, a roach to be proud of whatever the weight.

 

Interesting. I'm sure it's 100 per cent chub but it does have the body shape of a roach...

 

Sort of plump... :)

Really, you might be right. I've just been invited to join a 2011/12 species race...probably best I don't then.

It's never a 'six', let's put it back

Are we allowed to change our guess? :D

 

If so, i reckon 3lb 14oz

As famous fisherman John Gierach once said "I used to like fishing because I thought it had some larger significance. Now I like fishing because it's the one thing I can think of that probably doesn't."

:lol: ....can't wait...the suspence is killing me ;)

 

I'd say 100 percent chub and around the 4lb range.

 

 

Well I reckon its about 14inches long - obviously fat - but I'd still put it at under 2lb - 1lb 13oz is my guess - whats the prize! :rolleyes:

OK - drum roll please...

 

The winner and undisputed champion of guessing the fish weight is Rusty!

 

Shame he got the species wrong but a tip top bit of 'fishweightery'. :)

 

The chub was two pounds in weight exactly.

 

Elsewhere on the planet and showing us his great captures on this board is Anderoo who is snaffling five and six pound chub on a regular basis this winter. Well done sir! :)

 

However, us mere mortals on other rivers are having successes but not nearly on his level. I had two two pound chub from a session on the Suffolk Stour and was a happy bunny! I'd blanked on my last four fishing trips... For people new to fishing, fear not if you chub captures aren't always up to Anderoo's amazing deeds. :)

 

I picked this picture as I thought it might throw a few people. Although short, it was a plump chub.

 

I wish it had been a two pound roach though... :rolleyes:
