My Specimen List
My Specimen List - The funny thing about this page, is that there aren't any specimens! When I stopped fishing back in 1990, this was the list of fish I had.
As a young angler, I would drool over my favourite angling publication Angler's Mail and be amazed at the specimen filled pages. I would dream of catching a 20lb carp or a 2lb Roach, but it never happened. I enjoyed trying for them,
but had limited funds and if I am fair to myself, I would fish waters where I didn't have a cat in hell's chance of catching a specimen! The beauty of this page is it can now be organic as it will change and if you're interested, you'll be able to see how I am getting on by revisiting this page to see if any of the records have been broken. Well here we go,
you can now take a look and see how well I didn't do and hopefully, how I've improved!
