Trent montster Chub.

Has anyone seen any pictures of the reported 9lb 1oz Chub from the Trent?

Hi Ken

It was caught by a good mate of mine along with a 15lb 7oz barbel.

I believe it is the biggest chub ever caught from a river.

He has submitted his photos to the Angling Times so it will probably be in next week, but they are not brilliant self takes.

However, no one should doubt its authenticity - and he use ruebon heaton specimen dial scales - the best in the business!

Well done that man. And it is, to the best of my knowledge, the biggest from a river as you stated.

Yes thats a big river fish i know a 10lb one has been caught from a Derbyshire gravel pit and i think the old river record was from my old stomping grounds on the River Lee

The record is 9lb 5oz from a stillwater. There was a 10lb fish reported from the Wye last year but it was about as credible as the 50lb pike reported from Oulton pond last year

Pic of the pic in the angling times for you Ken:

That's a big Chub by any standards, thanks Ed.

i thought the scales were a centre pin at first.
that fish could be getting on to 6" deep

Thats a of a fish .....
