Such a tough call to make this month. The Itchen fish is an exceptional one and a river record and hence why it received my vote but I'd have happily given
it to many of the others too as they are all great catches.

Andy. You just need to make an amendment to the poll weight of the Trent fish.

we cannot match the size of these fish in the dane so to me it is a non starter.

I believe the Itchen Record is 15.14- so my vote goes to the Ouse Fish a truly wonderful Barbel.

Ouse fish for me , not size but appearance and the story behind it, (bread and worms) I liked.

It was a toss up between the Itchen (Record) and the Dove (close to record) for me, went for the Dove fish as it is so beautiful and chunky.........

I'm no good at maths but it would be nice to see what percentage of the river record they are.....It would help us understand exactly how impressive a
certain fish from a certain river actually is...

Bait Bob - I'd be interested to know your source for the Itchen record. The 15-14 fish is not noted on here, or the Barbel Society website (though there
are a couple of disparities between the two). Assuming you're correct, I wonder why no one else has mentioned it......
Cheers, Rich |

Clive,
Going by the BFW river records list and using a simple excel spreadsheet, I think the calculations would be: Fish 1 = 98.12% Fish 2 = 91.39% Fish 3 = 100% Fish 4 = 81.54% Fish 5 = 84.50% Fish 6 = 89.01%

Ouse fish for me as its not from Adams Mill and I know from experience not as easy to come by as many think especially in conditions it was caught in.

Bait Boat - I think what Born Again Fisher is referring to is the part of your first post when you mention the larger Itchen record. Then in the later post,
you talk about the Ivel record. Itchen or Ivel? Now, if I had (as I should have) believed the Itchen fish to be the river record - I would have voted for it.
Just to reiterate, the fish in the competition is from the Itchen NOT the Ivel.....
