This is a dedicated thread for discussing article: Record Fly-Caught Coarse Fish List
I have worries about this over-categorisation of Records - will the levels of proof of capture be the same across the different methods - already there seems to be a difference in that the 'Fly-Caught' claims must be backed-up with a photo - whereas the Official list is becoming increasingly sophisticated in terms of verification - with Scale &/or DNA samples required for some species.
Mark Wintle ran a post some time ago on the problems of estimating fish size from photographs and how even experienced anglers could be fooled by the 'presentation' of the fish to camera. What's changed?
What next in terms of categorisation:
- Record Pole and maggot caught fish list?
- Record Pellet Waggler fish list?
- Record Mepps Spinner caught fish list?
Stop it NOW - before it gets too silly!
