I wouldn't sell them its good looking back and seeing the differance between now and then. And after 25 years using basic methods can still catch good fish. It's also interesting the size of specimens now and what they were then. Quite a bit of weight has been put on this fish with all the high protein baits that have been introduced over the years. Who knows in another 25 years time we may be hearing about a 30lb Barbel we'll have to wait and see! Or am I just dreaming?
