= British Record Barbel Caught in Sussex River... 21lb 2oz!
It just goes to show, you don't always need big baits to catch big fish!
Well done Colin Smithson.
“I want to dedicate this catch to my brother Roy, who died a couple months ago aged 63. He lived for fishing and was a National disabled fishing champion. When I got the fish in the net I looked up at the sky and said: ‘I don’t know if that was you, but thanks Roy’. He would have loved to see this fish. It’s an incredible creature and I’m a very happy man – my Mount Everest has been climbed.”
