Record fish

[Sirhenry]

Hi all,

After a non-productive Google search on the subject, does anyone know where I might find the 'history' of angling records? By this I mean all the record holders over the years and where and when the record was broken. I am particularly interested in the Barbel records over the years.

I'm holding my breath, so mylife is in your hands!

I tried a similar search for details of record bream, without success.

So I gave a few details ofrecord bream I knew about on this site, and asked forum members to fill in the gaps, which they did.
