That is a great fish! And a great picture. It's wearing a grumpy expression as if it is feeling annoyed with itself for being caught😁

Nice. A chub of half that size I would be happy with.

My best chub looked like a real warhorse when I looked at it, I think it had been winding the local pike up.

Anyway, very well done.

Thanks

BB, she was in superb condition, just a small nip in her tail which will help me to identify her again if I'm ever lucky to recapture it.

Thank you. There are bigger chub here, I just need more time on the bank to scout around and of course a little luck.
