According to Mark some anglers seem to have lost count of the number of big fish they've caught over the years, citing examples of some 2lb-plus roach catches that have grown over time.
But before we condemn any of the anglers mentioned let's bear in mind that some of them may have suffered from an over-enthusiastic editor's pen, or may genuinely have forgotten what they've caught.
Certainly it's true that as you get older the big fish tally becomes less important and different values get priority.
From my own point of view there was a time when I counted the number of double figure bream I'd caught, but when it topped well over 100 I did genuinely lose count and today I don't know, or care, what that figure is.
