I think the easiest way to identify is the lips. Roach has a top petruding lip, Rudd has a bottom petruding lip, hybrids don't have a petruding lips.

There's more to it though, scale counts on the lateral line and spines on the dorsal but I can't be bothered to check it up. Cracking fish what ever the species, not sure if you are looking at recoerd size but close. Google up british record fish comittee.

I don't understand JG, you posted a pic of your cat on another thread (and a mighty fine beast it is too!) so do the same for the pic of the roach.
