Hi brookie

I never carry weighing scales with me but my pbs are guesstimated at:
roach 1lb
barbel never been caught
pike 13lb 3oz
perch 2lb
chub never been caught
tench 4lb
bream 2lb
rudd 1/2lb
carp 10lb (off surface with bread, great fun on a 9ft ledger rod and 6lb line !!)

This one isn't coarse fish but thought I'd include it:
small octopus caught in a rock pool on the beach in San Antonio Bay, Ibiza using hand line and bread. Got a couple of quid for it from one of the locals who was walking by at the time. I must have only been 10 or 11 years old at the time.

carp 15.8 pole,tench.51b.5,barbel.91b,8 .eel,41b.15.bream,71b.5 ive caught evry coarse fish that swims but these ar my best.
