Wow Bob, amazing fish. That's set the bar to a whole new level that's going to be hard to beat, a river fish on the pin as well, doesn't get much better.

 

[binka]

Belting fish Bob, well done & congratulations on your new pb!

 

[Bob Hornegold]

Thanks Lads

That's a much better picture than the first one Bob.

You can see how plump it is where you're holding it...

Great perch....

There's a new app just been released called Fabfocus, clever piece of kit that imitates bokeh, taken the liberty and just had my first attempt with Bobs huge Perch, needs a bit of tinkering but not bad for a few seconds work.

 

[Bob Hornegold]

The trouble is with the picture, it looks like I have two storm poles growing out of my head !!

Thanks s63

Congratulations Bob, that is a terrific fish.

By comparison I managed a tiddler of 3.5 during a short session today -writeup on the 'How did' thread......................

Totally awesome Bob, what a fish, speechless, a big well done mate :thumbs:

 

[Tee-Cee]

I keep looking at that fish of Bob's and I still cannot get my head around it..Just the size of its mouth and how big a fish it could swallow........Staggering...

No way it will be beaten in this challenge.....unless Binka/Jerry get busy!!
