Something I've been thinking about today, at what point does a fish become a specimen?
I had a 5lb chub which I think definitely counts but at what point does a fish turn from 'decent' or 'big' to 'specimen'?
I'm thinking when it weighs half of the record fish, eg barbel around 10-11lb, chub of 4.5lb, perch of 3lb. But does that work for all fish? Would a 1lb roach count as a specimen? Or a 20lb Carp?
What do you think?
