Sorry but I cannot agree with that, the British record was caught in 2006 with many more near that weight some of which have been reported some have not.
I know of a river record from a river up north that would have beaten the existing record by a large margin had the angler wanted to claim it. I knew the angler and saw the photographs of the fish which incidentally was caught on 30lb braid reel line.
I believe that we are yet to see the best of the Tidal Trent so much of it never sees an angler.
Graham, interesting post, are you saying the record not claimed was for the northern river or the "national" one ?.
Speaking of the tidal I was shown a pik of a massive barbel taken not long ago, it wasnt reported either----- it's getting there !.
