cheers mate,left my scales at home [be the first thing i pack next time] anyway my mate thinks about 4-5 ib ? not bad for my first one

nice chub yes but will keep better if not left on the dirt

nice fish , if you dont have a mat to rest the fish on , instead of the stones etc , use a strong carrier bag , ideal for weighing small size fish in , gives them plenty of protection as well , keep a few in your tackle box

well done on the fish once again
