I'm pleased to say that Chris Mack has given me his permission to post a photo of what could be the new British barbel record. Chris caught this awesome fish of 21lb 2oz on Monday the 3rd of November on a stretch of the Wensum. I would like to be the first to publicly congratulate Chris and would also like to thank him for granting BFW permission to show the photo.
Chris has also asked me to add the following text to this post:
"Having caught 'The Beast' at 21lb 2oz, which may or may not be recognised as a record I would just like to say that most of the congratulations should be sent Chris Turnbull's way. For without his forsight none of us who fish the Wensum would be enjoying such great angling. Thanks Chris." - Chris Mack
Well said Chris, and many congratulations on the capture of this amazing barbel. I for one hope it is recognised as the new record, for a number of different reasons.
Regards,
Andy F
