Big UK cat

[davelumb]

I thought the BRFC had suspended catfish from the record list but the articles says they want the angler to get in touch.

He was humble enough to say that he was only an amateur and that his wrist hurt.

There must have been loads bigger than that caught?

Or are they potentially not eligible if they've been stocked as big fish?

Several bigger than that have come out of UK waters, but my understanding was the BRFC weren't interested; quite a few have arrived in the back of a van from France. Chigborough has had them in there for a very long time. I've probably caught that one when it was a bit smaller, fished the water for a few years. Biggest rats you've ever seen, may be the cats have been eating them
