Not many get the chance to hold a 3+ roach !
Not many get the chance to fish that venue either!

That's rather a cynical reply S63, there again you may be right. But, this fantastic feat of angling was the result of firstly locating those fish by talking to the regulars, then working out the optimum method to catch them.
Couple that with studying the meteorological forecasts, waiting for the opportune moment to have a go at them, and bingo ...
Every aspect of his approach was carefully planned, not some chuck it and hope attempt.
I also wonder why, if those fish had grown big on carp bait, they would bother with maggots which hold little or no nutritional value?
There are probably many waters like this where carp are the only fish fished for and the rest of the fish, some like these are never caught.
I don't think it harms your chances though if you........, have access to some exclusive fisheries and benefit from a top-level grapevine that alerts you to rare opportunities.
His angling achievements may have opened doors to waters that others may not have access too
I love the roach. Are they smarter than other fish, or just more versatile when feeding with other shoal fish?
Well the fact they are probably the most frequently caught fish would mean they are unlikely to be he smartest.
I would say the big ones are difficult to catch because there are less of them. Its as simple as that.
