*Ironically asks* but what’s its Name?

 

Great fish and from the Wensum. I hope he gets the record and the fish remains name less

Fantastic fish, looks in superb condition.

 

Hope it's accepted as the record, and then, not 'hounded' like last one.

 

But why, oh why do they have to give it a name?

It says it's been named "The Beast", bluerinse.

Nice one! Maybe a bit of sanity will come back to the big barbel world now?

[lutra]

Thats some fish, he's holding it all wrong for the camera and it still looks a "Beast".

It makes me wonder, though - I got the impression that the Adams Mill fish...which are small(ish) water fish after all...have got so big due to the amount of high-protein and nutritional bait going in. If it was crayfish they were scoffing, then Thames fish would be pushing twenties now on a regular basis. I didn't think that the Wensum was a 'circuit' water, but if it's not crayfish in a small river it's presumably bait. IS the Wensum a bit of a specialist mecca after all, and is it going to suffer from 100s of kilos of pellets being slung in?

It would be interesting to know where it came from, and how big it was when stocked?

 

I seem to have picked up that it was a Calverton fish?

 

No sour grapes, I have already congratulated the guy on BFW, superb fish.
