laura , the sites records are outdated ,i looked at freshwater records and the chub record is not correct (9lb 3oz fish from a southern stillwater,2007.)this happens with a lot of sites with record lists on ,people just dont seem to update them ,why i have no idea ...
silver bream
Phil, who had an tackle insurance policy which promised £7,500 to any policy holder who caught a new British record fish, was undeterred and returned to Mill Farm.
After experimenting with various methods including a long rod, pole and helicopter rigs and feeding heavily with maggots Phil found he was catching masses of carp and tench but only a few silver bream.
Fishing the back of a bar about 40 yards out using a Size 18 hook and a paste bait, he changed tactics and opted to feed the swim lighter by only packing a feeder with maggots. The result was that he landed a fish of just over 2lbs before catching the 2lb 14oz record breaker. He suspected he had the record in his pocket when the fish was weighed on four different sets of scales and showed the same weight each time.
