The same ways, I guess, fins, scars, aberrant scale patterns etc? The thing is, my target is an 8lb-er and those that I know have been caught multiple times, almost invariably come out in the same stretch, even the same swims, each time. I can think of a couple of swims where different 8's have been caught, but beyond that, I know pretty much which fish I'm most likely to be targetting. Also I don't think a chubs weight varies that much, certainly not like a barbels.
I'm not really one for trying to catalogue my captures in any species, so it wouldn't hold enough interest for me to do it.
It's only a short step from that to "names", perhaps?
