As a fairly inexperienced angler, my largest fish have been under 1lb. But i have a habit of catching 6 4-6oz roach or perch inside 15 minutes. its happened three times now, but none of the fish have exceeded 6oz in weight. I still love angling, and go whenever i possibly can, and i dont mind that the fish i catch are small because they are also good fun to land, maybe not as much fun as a big barbel or chub, or even a medium sized carp, but fun none the less. I feel that far too much emphasis in the sport goes on size, when what matters is enjoyment.
