Specimen barbel start at 10lb
13lb?
Rowlocks! Big, fat, rusty coloured, squeeky when used stinky rowlocks!
13lb is a big specimen, lets not weight out the aveage joe just so the "Stars" can shine alone.....We are in a high time for big barbel. If the current crop died out...what would be a specimen then?
7lb...8lb...9lb?
A specimen is what it is to the captor and not what it appears to everyone else....My biggest is 13lb 7oz and is the biggest of all my doubles....How many doubles have I caught?
I don't know....I stopped counting....It doesn't matter anymore, as long as I enjoy the fishing that is all that counts!
If the fish is a 10lber or above....Bonus...A specimen!
If the fish is 10lb or below....Bonus, I didn't blank!
