I had enough mud, steep banks and tree roots to last a life time. It'll take a week or two just to clean the gear

Congratulations on your first barbel Mike. We must work out a way of finding some for Claudia

very well done mike,what a lovely fish, is it a forum record ?

Paul, it would have been, but Neil (Catfish virgin still), had an 8lb+ one, see his report on the lower severn.

So go on Neil, claim the forum record Barbel.
