Here is a typical "net fish" I caught yesterday approx 10-12 oz. Using light lines and size 20 hooks.

Last year the lake went barmy (after severe frosts) and one day I had a freak catch of 35 roach over 1lb in a bag that must have topped 100lb. (Best 1.10). I weighed each fish (on Avons) that looked over 1lb and each time it was confirmed as pound plus, I dropped a split shot in a bait box and counted up the split shot at the end of day.
At 11am I had 6 roach over 1lb in 6 casts.
There is another lake that does throw up the odd "2".
One below I got some time ago now.

Might be worth checking out you local carp lake/commercials for ignored goldmines of roach.
What you do have to watch out for is some lakes you will get too many small ones so you need to go after severe frosts in my opinion which seems to stun the little uns.
(NB the real biggies seem to get caught by the carp blokes on carp gear and it's soul destroying!).
