Given the immense size of the barbel in the Great Ouse, is it any longer realistic to speculate about other 'record-potential' venues?
Last season saw some splendid fish especially from the big rivers (Thames: very impressive indeed, Trent: consistantly good etc) but can there really be a fish out there, lurking, that can challenge the record?
As a Severn boy, I want to believe it is possible, and that someone on my river may be lucky enough one day, but those Ouse beards are so goddam awesomely huge now...
What do you reckon?
