Big Fish 2011-2012 season

In each season between 1st March and 28th February, at the discretion of the Committee, a trophy
will be awarded for the heaviest fish of each species caught by a member on rod and line in Society waters.
Each entry must be weighed and witnessed by two other persons and details sent to the Secretary. Please
return such fish alive to the water. Up to date we have no entry in the Perch, Pike or Roach
sections, so if you latch on to a sizeable Redfin or a titanic Pike...let us know. Of course if you catch
anything bigger than those listed, as long as they fill the criteria, they will take the lead.
The largest Bream has now been eclipsed by an 8lb 2oz beast, again, caught at
Meadow Lane. The current leader in the Bream class is Gavin Hill
Two enteries from David Caunt, a 4lb Barbel from Jasons and a 4lb 2oz Tench, also
from Jasons. Again, both of these fish are pictured on Davids Gallery page.
We now have an entry in the Pike category. A 16lb 7oz specimen landed by Terry Branston from
the River Soar at Rothley.
Ian Chamberlains 17lb carp has been knocked off the top of the carp list by a 21lb'er landed by
Paul Heath from Colver. Pauls fish was caught quite a while ago but, apologies to Paul, I forgot to add the
fish to the list!! A picture of Pauls fish can be seen on his Gallery page.
