Is it only me or does it seem a tad wrong to claim records from fish that are clearly full of spawn because in a few weeks that fish will weigh a fair few onces less , and whats more is it gonna encourage some anglers to actually target spawning fish just to get those extra onces on the scales .

Some anglers might only make the visit to stream valley at this time next year as its gonna be the only way to catch it at 1oz heavier .

I may be being unfair here and dont mean to undermine what is clearly a magnificent catch and lovely fish

 

 

I also have mixed feelings about the spawning issue. But the one fish that I really doubt it would affect must be the perch. The piccy really does capture the "agro look" of the perch. The big lardy overweight wotsits (fish of course) never look that good. Still a nice fish . I still get a kick catching them half that weight.
