Identity please.

Well done to the young lad - I must say when I saw the picture I was stumped as to what it was, that's a new one to me!

Great stuff! And well done to the lad! Get it verified and pm Mr Charlton. He may want to take his own pics of your lad with the fish. Very special catch. :)
 
get picture sent of to tsf, if it is a record, it`l prob deffo get printed, and any junior who appears in the mag gets a new rod..........!

well done again.
 
Pazza, can someone ask Pazza to contact me A.S.A.P. please, I have spoken to the British Record Fish Commitee and there is no present record for a Greater Forkbeard. The fish would have to be identified correctly by the B.R.F.C. There are certain procedures to be carried out on claiming a record. If someone can help I would appreciate it, my telephone number is 0191 5184561.
Sam.
 
Hi All,

I've just returned from Andy Rutherfords were he's verified the fish as a Greater Forkbeard, weighing in at 3lb dead. He's given me a signed certificate of verification.
My son, Morgan is absolutely over the moon.

Look at the post before you mate, apparently you need the B.R.F.C. to verify.
Good luck
 
Well done young man ! put it in the freezer once you have weighed it on calibrated scales WITH CERTIFICATES !!!!"! i cant stress this enough !! try getting it weighed at a couple of places .......once you have done this put it in the freezer until the NFSA ask to get it verified !!! it will have to be sent down to the national science and history museum in london ......for Mr Oliver Crimmon to verify .............oh yes brings back memories for me !! just out of interest the Lesser Forked Beard is a Tadpole Fish ...................good luck and congratulations
