Record Catches

I do try to keep track of British record catches and I am aware that lists are available on the internet because I refer to them. I keep loosing the dam things and have to keep refreshing my list from the web.

Might it be possible for a page on FM to contain a list of all confirmed UK record catches to be updated as and when records are broken?

i.e. Species - Weight - Who - Where - Other info if known etc.

There may already be one but if there is I haven't found it.

its here mate

Thanks Monk I have saved the link.

Is that the case that no records have been broken since 2005 and what about Zander? Is the list complete?

If we had our own list then forgetful old men like me who love this site wouldn't have to keep asking daft questions.

probably needs updating mate

try this one mate

Thanks Monk I have printed it off - Still doesn't answer the question though does it?

At a glance, perch and roach are out of date on there.

And chub.

Monk are you serious a 1LB bullhead thats a blinkin big bully by anyones standards ,are there two species present in this country?

And the bream, silver bream, chub, grass carp, common carp, crucian carp, and the zed (as of this week).
The Dog has kicked some butt at the BRFC and the up-to-date list is now available on the NFSA's website - www.nfsa.org.uk
Should answer the question.

In summary my original question was:

Might it be possible for a page on FM to contain a list of all confirmed UK record catches to be updated as and when records are broken?

i.e. Species - Weight - Who - Where - Other info if known etc.

If we had our own list then forgetful old men like me who love this site wouldn't have to keep asking daft questions.

asking daft questions is second nature to me mate, dont worry about it!

FM doesn't have a British record fish list on site but I'll see what I can do.

Thanks Graham - I believe it would save a lot of extraneous research and controversy.

i didnt know the bleak record was as high as 9oz, thats a netter

FM doesn't have a British record fish list on site but I'll see what I can do.

haha, we could have a seperate one for Wendy`s catches

What's a pikeperch zander?

the pikeperch walley is a yank and the pikeperch zander is an illegal immigtant

no such fish as a pikeperch zander it's just zander. There are other types of illegal immigrants to worry about.

it the way its differentiated from the Walley for the purpose of the lists, prior to the introduction of the zander to these shores we had introduced walleys, known as pikeperch
