Good question asI have yet to catch one!
But I do know that at least 2 fish have been caught that are over 12lbs in weight in matches in the last few years, and these are true captures not just rumours! A 12lb river tench is the stuff dreams are made of /forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif
I expect the average is about 3-4lbs, I think they were introduced to the river from a lake upstream, where they had an oxygen problem so they dumped the tench into the river, Happy days!
Will let you know how I get on, hope you have better luck than me with the whiskers!
