Hello everyone,
my first post to barbel world, but a good one. Been barbelling this season, my first, managing a 13lb 1oz barbel, great. However, at about 7pm on 23.08.06 after no bites all afternoon my pal caught a big barbel on triple maggot. He had salter scales and fish sling. Weighed in at 18lb 04oz, from a BAA stretch of the Severn.
I am trying to get it ratified on his behalf as a poss. river record, assuming no bigger barbel have come out this month!
I contacted barbel world and the society last week but no reply yet. Hoping to get it in angler's mail this week if poss.
So few bites were had that I was piking (only my second trip) and half an hour later bagged a 30lb 4oz pike. Amazing. Best day's fishing this year by a long way.
tight lines,
boba
