Now THATS a barbel- 19lb 5oz river record -
 good heavens. AT pg 7.Who would have predicted that- the biggest barbel caught in the UK, excluding the Ouse fish. |

Same place as the usual Kennet record or a different fish?

Hi all,
Would love to know  From a previous thread I believe it is a different fish ? Some of the Kennet regulars may put me straight ? Hopefully it is a different fish as it gives us all hope that somewhere there is another monster lurking, growing fat on Crayfish ! Anyhow, whatever it is a stunning capture and a gorgeous fish to boot ! Cheers Paul M........... |

I think if it was crayfish it was feeding on, it would have done the record 20 years ago. More like it is like the others and been fattened up with boilies and pellets.

A big well done to Mr. Duncan.
Maybe we can return the Barbel record to Berkshire where it belongs, the Ouse has dominated far too long. Ian.

Swung into a local newsagents just now for my weekly devil-spawn free-read. The nineteen-pounder, to my eye and memory at least, looks a different fish from the slightly beefy and well-worn seventeen of a few months ago...

Been a fair while since Duncan graced these boards, but he used to be a regular back in the good old days, on the fish ins too.
A fine chap and a fine barbel. Well done Duncan. |

Hearty congratulations to the captor. This is a truly outstanding angling achievement. I can guess what Duncan means when he says that the stretch is a "lightly fished section". Anywhere that is lightly fished on the Kennet is either very private (actually there aren't too many like that) or is one of the "featureless" canalised stretches where fish location is very hard. Anyone taking on one of the latter (which I presume this to be) is taking on a real challenge. It takes a fair bit of work to figure out where the fish might be and even then you can expect a lot of blanks. (That's why they are "lightly fished"!!). So, to crack one of these difficult stretches in such spectacular fashion is unquestionably terrific fishing. Steve |
