I don't know about an actual scientifically chart but the following seems to be universally accepted.
Gudgeon Length
1.5" = Aagh just so cute
2" = Cute
3" = Nice to see em about
4" -5" = Cor , that's a good one
5"-6" = S'gotta be close to the
record. Gotta be!
6" plus = Pretty sure l had a
record gudgeon once.
Should've weighed it
I suppose.

Brilliant and sort of true
I'm actually being serious, there was an image of the chart, pretty sure it was in one of the gonk threads but I suspect it was loaded with tinypics and has expired

Can only find 2 research documenst and nothing to do with UK, of the two, this seems the best. You will need to serach on Gobio Gobio, weight to length ratio or similar.

And there was me thinking this was a humorous post
I know you gents like your gonks - and who cant smile at their tiny tenacity - but I had no idea that you were such serious microspecimen hunters. Every credit

When you catch the record don't forget to take a photo with both you and the gudgeon in it, otherwise it will not count and all your hard work will be for nothing. Someone recently caught a record minnow but only took a photo of the fish, so it was disallowed!
but l'm glad you found it . I find those WfL charts interesting too
