Big bream

[gozzer]

The record has gone - 22lb+!!!

 

Hopefully more details will follow but it appears to be genuine and a fish from the same water as the last record. Caught by a carp angler.

 

 

22lb 9oz, I heard, yup caught by a carp angler.

Do you think he considered it a 'nuisance' fish? ;-)

[Steve Walker]

That's just monstrously huge - and I wonder what it will weigh in May?

Thanks for that link Steve - he seems like a nice bloke, congratulations to him, accidental capture or not

Good interview, well done

Great account of what must be just about the best accidental capture ever in the UK. Seems like a really nice chap as well. Just a little disappointed that one of the Wingham beasts hadn't taken the record first, but there's still a slim chance that there might be a slightly bigger one around.

Cant wait to see a picture bet it looks really impressive!

 

The first ever authenticated 20 is a major milestone.Shame we couldnt have got there first with one of the Wingham fish but thats the way fishing goes.Nice to see that despite it being an accidental capture the carp angler realised the importance of the catch and also apeared to have enjoyed it.Nice attitude as well.

[Anderoo]

Yes, I also wish that Steve had seen his dream of Britain's first 20 become a reality. Still, as Will said, who knows what's in there...

Quick report of the last session - I never really felt like I was anywhere near a bream despite what should have been good conditions, and big bream fishing is impossible Long live the fluke!
