Identity please.

[pazza]

This is the best thread I have read on here for a long time. I hope the lad gets the record as I think it will last for a long time.
I was stumped at its identity when I seen the photos.
Well done.

When i spoke to Mr Harris today he told me he rang Alan Yates about it, and Alan couldn't believe the size of it as he said the normal weight for them are about 14oz, hence the qualifing weight for a record being 1lb. Still can't believe what Morgan said last night, that he only brought it home because he didn't know what kind of fish it was. He said he nearly gave it away to a bloke fishing next to him. Unbelievable.

What's the next step mate?

What's the next step mate?

I've had to take a good few photos of it next to a tape measure. I've pulled out to extend its fins top and bottom for pictures. Then emailed them to the BRFC, then downloaded 4 forms they sent me through email to fill in and send off ASAP. Then it's a waiting game i presume. Apparently the committee get together to look at all the evidence then make a decision.

Lets hope they make the right decision and a quick one at that.

I must admit I was totally confussled as to what it was when I saw the picture - I was going to suggest a "Red Herring" Can't see why a few people call it "ugly" though - lumpsuckers, grannies & greenbones a lot uglier in my opinion!

Hi Gary,
I've looked through this months (sept) TSF and never came across the story, never mind seeing its a catch of the month. Unless the copy i got had a few pages missing.

For an update, I've received an email from the BRFC confirming that all the paperwork and photos i sent them have all been approved by the committee. Im now just waiting for the Identifier fella from the committee to approve its identity then they'll get straight in touch with us.
As soon as i find out i'll let you's know.

And cheers Trev, i hope it is correct and he gets a nice little 'Goody Bag'.

Hi mate, I sent it to the Young Rods comp in the Sea Angler, through Paul Fenech. I was too late to enter for this month, so it will be in either Octobers edition or Novembers. Bit of luck it might be better if it is Novembers edition, then hopefully it might be all sorted with the BRFC.
