Thanks for all the comments, it was a lovely autumnal day.....almost like something from Crabtree. I don't use this rod enough but today I was reminded to get it out of the cupboard more often. Handled this fish at distance which was impressive. Well done Andrew. Stunning rod.

Beautiful on all counts, well done.

Well done Badger1, a fantastic barbel. Love the rod photo, a proper battle curve.

As the Lou Reed song says ' A perfect day ' with lovely tackle, and that reverse bend in the rod......something else indeed.

Evening all,

Thanks for all the replies. I sneaked back down the river this afternoon but it was all very quiet until the end........not far of 16lb this one......odd looking Barbel. It was a bit dark but around 15lb 08oz with HUGE teeth. Bloom'in thing snaffled the luncheon meat when it was under some branches for the barbel.
