I did guess around 3.5 to 4 on the day, I'm not the best guesser.

It could well be JT, you can see it is quite a chunky fish in the larger photo. Whatever the size it is a beautiful fish :thumb:

My best Tench is in my Avatar picture, didn’t weigh it though, I don't often weigh the fish I catch.

Anyone give me an estimate on it. :chuckle:

I would say between 3lb 12oz and 4lb 4oz - and a nice tench too!

Thanks guys.

Whatever the weight it is indeed a lovely fish.

No - spanish reed disgorgers, by Sowerbutts, with the appropriate stamp...

As for big Tench waters, I do believe that Sywell Resevoir hold really big Tench. Fish to 12lbs have been caught although the average is 7lb, and it's only £8 per day or £12 for a 24 hour trip.........

Thanks SK, I'll look that up: as for holding history, so to speak - yes, I know exactly what you mean; but holding "Excalibur" is the ultimate; I wonder, did you hear the angel's sing, and did you hand turn golden?

No, but the whole of the 50s and 60s flashed before my very eyes. I, for a few seconds, relived every moment that mighty rod has witnessed. And what a journey it was!!!! :thumb:
