Where in the following title:
"<u>British Rod Caught Record</u>"
Does the moral issue come into anything? Surely the record list is simply a list of the biggest fish to ever have been caught in Britain on rod and line.
Whether we like it or not, the fact that it is poached should notaffect the matter of record,if the fish is indeed genuine, weighed properly, witnessed, etc.
If this perch was caught on rodand line, is a genuine perch and weighs more than the previous record it must surely be the new British rod caught record?
The record list is not about the captors, it is about the fish.
I mean, who deliberately goes out on a Saturday thinking, "Oh, you know, I might catch a record perch today..."
