For many years a tench that size was the only one I'd ever caught! I remember it well from my childhood. Took me until I was 50 to catch another, about 6 pounds ish I would say.
@@Deeroncam I was thinking of taking my dad to a local lake that has some tench this week as it happens! Not big ones, but I've always rather liked them, would be nice to catch a few more. There;s another lake nearby that does have big tench, but it's a fairly pricey ticket and a big carp venue really. Those guys always think I'm weird when I turn up with my 1970s kit and a tub of worms from the lawn :) But then I'm after fun, not specimens!
