First Tench

[Guest Ferret1959]

for the price they charge a year you cant moan its bloody good fishing, got everything in there

 

If I get a chance this weekend I'll have a walk done and see how it looks.

 

 

 

Is there any off street car parking?

good catch, well done! i reckon you will never stop chasing the tench after getting a few.

i think tench fight just as hard as carp id love to get a double figure tench

[zenith10]

how much would you say these 3 weigh? im not that good at estimating tench weight's

Lovely fish for your first, and hopefully the first of many, top bombing

Impossible to say without some reference object in the photo to compare them with - ideally a ruler, or a size 10 welly

That's better. Now assuming the span of those right hand fingers is 4", that makes the fish about 16" from nose to fork of tail. Now we just need weight-for-length charts for tench (which I can't find on the net). If it was a bass, it would be about 2lb, a perch somewhat more. I'm guessing a fair bit more for a meaty tench, maybe 3lb? Dunno

 

Bloody nice fish though
