Carp Record Gone?

68 lb 1 oz beats 67 lb 14 oz

 

The IGFA has (or maybe used to have - I don't keep up) a rule that to claim a "record" the fish has to beat the previous "record " by 1% or more

 

Good idea or bad idea ?

 

Perhaps that depends upon which country you are a citizen of !

 

Academic for me - if I do weigh a fish, its usually for my own information only.

Until such time it is accepted officially it's only a potential record claim as whether it beats the existing record will depend on scales checks etc. Incredible fish though.

That would mean 11oz+ in this case though there's no mention of a 1% increment requirement on the BRFC procedures....

dunno about calling it the parrot. perhaps they should name it yo-yo. looking at their page, it's been caught how many times already.

 

just like the lottery weight wise, all you gotta do is wait for the numbers to be correct and you have a record. puddle bashing at it's best. :D

Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted.


New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.

Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.

Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.

Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.

Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.

Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.

new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.

Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are..

I presume the scales that weigh the fish are checked for accuracy after the event?

I presume scales are checked after any claim for any record?

Perhaps it should be done like Guinness record where every angler in the country has a EA "official" standing behind them incase a record is caught so they can verify it

I have witnessed fish for anglers after the big gest tench comp at the pond but i have no way of testing scales for accuracy not xray equiptment to spot guts full of lead nor have i certified scales of my own to double check

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong
