PBs please!

[t0mb0la]

after reading about jimmys sweet new PB i thought i should get some scales, coz i dunno what mine is!?!

it felt like a whale when i caught it and it was twice as big as the ones i normally catch at sharpley, so i guess it was about 4lbs!

i took a snap


so what's yours?



cheers...........tom

pb's

couple of pics for you.first one 20lb 1oz 2nd one 18lb 15 oz. first one fell to a humungus and the tiddler took a size 14 hares ear both taken from jubilee lakes.
got them within a fortnight of each other winter before last. must admit though i get much more satisfaction catching fish a fraction of the size from 'propa' waters. i'd say a fish of 5lb's oot tha derwent is a more satisfying achievement than pulling in one of sandra's 'pigs' that might of only been in the lake 10 minutes.
had a 13lb er from the middle lake at witton a couple of years ago and would probs class that as me best fish, also a 4 1/2lb blue from lockwood beck that took 3 barrels lol

soz for erring slightly off topic but I've always wondered why coarse/freshwater fish are seemingly denser when it comes to weight (kind of like lead IE lots of weight but not much size in proportion to said weight)

A Cod the same weight as Jimmys would be twice that size and a 20lber would almost be as tall as a full grown adult (slight exaggeration but you get my drift)

I've thought about this before when watching the brummy twosome of Hayes/Brown when they catch a seemingly (to me anyway) average Chubb or similar and they say things like "touching 10lb easy"...anyone else have an opinion on this? or am I rambling mindlessly wasting the last few minutes of my working week?

I'm not doubting the weights by the way - I'm 100% convinced they are what they are it's just a scientific mystery is all

maybe coz they live in relativley small waters compared to the sea or are slower growing or they're just fat cnuts

dicky mate, those are some mighty trouts!
