British records increasing .

[Steve Walker]

If it's the largest rod caught barbel in the UK, of course it should be recognised - it's a matter of historical fact, not a hall of fame or a prize for achievement. Whoever stuck the thing in a stillwater is still a bounder and a cad, mind, and should be forced to live in a small caravan with half a dozen very flatulent pigs.

Rudd, when you mention John Wilson ,and Melton Lake , if you refer to when he caught about 10 doubles on lob tail on the float from a boat ,it had absolutely nothing to do with Melton lake , it was miles away from there, and as far as I know , assuming those were the bream to which you were talking about , there was no question of salinity affecting the size of the bream.If those were the bream you were talking about I am right . If not , you may be right but I missed that programme .

That was the secret lake episode, he also caught some big Perch. The Melton one and another at Ardleigh both targetting Bream were seperate.

If i.m not mistaken ( believe that if you want ) he caught some well into the doubles.

Same as one year with a well known angling oholiday firm.

Bob Nudd catches a bag of 350lbs of bream.

We went to a roadshow where he and the owner of the said holiday firm were speaking. One lad in the audience on the Q&A part asked, Bob and Martin this question.

Where did you get the 350lbs bag from, because i can guarantee that anyone in this room who went to Ireland this year struggled, at least 100 lads put their hands up.

After a bit of whispering they decided to spill the beans. He caught them from a private place, only accessible by boat. The bloke who's home was on the bank filled it in every day with groundbait, caster , sweetcorn etc.

There was uproar in the place.

Off topic i know but thought i would share with you.

Fritton lake?
