Well done Ian, Ive had a few sessions on the Trent but no joy so far, still awaiting my 1st ever Barbel. It's encouraged me to keep at it. Strange that a lot of Barbel guys have been saying between 5pm and midnight is a good time for Barbel on the Trent. Its a time I cant manage unfortunately due to other commitments, but I do get some early morning sessions under my belt, usually in the dark too so I take my hat off to you for the skill it takes to have such a fantastic catch.
