Specimen Fish

 

A selection of specimen fish caught on the Hampshire Avon by "master angler" Sean:

 

  This monster chubb was bought to the net on light tackle and white maggot. The fish weighed over 5lbs and took 30 minutes to land in heavy rain.

Date Sat 25th November 1995.

A roach of 2lbs 6 oz was caught in the same session.

     
  A 2lbs 5oz roach caught whilst fishing for barbel. The fish took 3 maggots on a size 16 hook just as the light was fading..
     
  A 9 lbs barbel caught on casters in July 1995. A 2.4lbs line and size 16 hook were used. Not surprisingly this barbel which looks nackered in the photo took a while to land.

The phot0 was taken by Netta

     
  You don't get many of these. A beautifully coloured Avon Bream weighing 8 lbs.
