I've been fishing about 30 yrs , in that time i've bothered to weigh about 4 fish and only 1 of these can i remember the exact weight. My personal best is what i achieve each time i fish.

thats a nice attitude to have terry

[dapper64]

common carp 8lb 4,mirror carp 6lb,pike 16 lb 9,chub 4lb 1,tench 3lb 7,I've have never weighed any other species though I have had a few perch to about 2 lb and few brown trout around 3 and 4 lb and eels about 2lb.

[mike1234]

i have never owned a set of scales so all my bests are guesstimates

 

but i have caught a conger that was definitely over 20 lb, have had tench upto around 6lb carp into low doubles about 10-12lb bream to about 4lb but my best fish in terms of enjoyment was my first roach over 2lb which aren't common around these parts,

 

catching a small perch with unusual blue tints and no barring and an almost albino eel are also notable fish even tho in specimen terms they wasnt that large,

 

sometimes its not the biggest fish or even the best fights that bring the most enjoyment, so i suppose it differs between the angler what personal best is in terms of weight, fight, rarity, and enjoyment

i try not to worry about the weight of i just go for the enjoyment lol but iv had bream to 7lb i would like to catch a tench of about 9lb would be a good fight

The pb I'm most proud of is a 2lb 1.5oz roach caught from the Relief Channel in Norfolk when I was a wee anderoo. I don't expect I'll ever better that and to be honest I don't really want to. I like the fact it's from 'home'.

 

This season I would dearly love to better my tench and bream PBs, and I hope to catch a good rudd too.

 

I'm hoping not to land a pb eel...!

 

If they happen to come along, PB barbel and carp would be nice. Those are ones I've never set out to catch.

Chub - 5lb 1oz (Oxfordshire River, 2008)

i'm quite happy to fish for whatever comes along but i also like to keep record/p.b list .this year I hope to beat (if not smash) my tench and bream bests, the waters i'm fishing easily hold the stamp of fish to get me double figures in both species , also i'm going to have a go for a 40lb+ cat and wouldn't mind a big rudd
