I'm not surprised, after all, were only talking a DOUBLE here.

Andy, you live a lot closer to that water than I do, we are talking Wilstone I take it ?.
Warren and myself have been blanking on Korda by the way, very hard, but it produced an 11.4 Tench only a few days ago.

We were.
That's a big fish for this time of year. Is it the same fish that kept coming out last year?
Can you kick Warren for me and ask him why he still hasn't sent me my photo's from last autumn!!!

Tench were first introduced to SA ca 1920 to a few natural lakes in the Cape Flats and Boland regions. They grew huge - over 20 lbs.
I tried to track them down after seeing a photo of a very fat 10 kg fish taken in the 70s.
I doubt if there are any left now however.

Ron, that's amazing 10kg is 50% bigger than the UK. Did huge males get caught too? Were they a lot longer and bigger framed than UK fish or just fatter?

They looked just like UK fish but a lot bigger - fat too.
I never saw a photo of a male.
