....but who needs a 15lb barbel anyway!!
Well I wouldn't mind for a start...the first barbel I ever caught remains my biggest.And at the time [1971] the record was just over 13lb so my 12 + pounder which would barely raise an eyebrow now was no mean fish.
I can still remember every second of that fish...the date,time [to the minute] the cast,the bite,the fight,the way it bent my landing net pole,the weighing and the horrible sick feeling when I realised that I'd left my camera at home.
I'm over it now....not !
