You will need all the help you can get ! Get Sam and Alan on the team 2 wrll known and well respected members of notheast angling ... Scales certs that are up to date is a must I'm sure Mr Charlton will agree ! Would hate to think your boy would miss out on a small technicallity .. good luck .. enter all the usually comps in mags etc ,I did and got some nice goodies back even before it was verified ! Go for it

Thanks a lot great advice Bert. Mr Harris came to mine this afternoon to take photos and a chat with Morgan. A real nice man and very knowledgeable.
I've also spoke to Mr Charlton via PM and he's told me to keep in touch, which i intend to.
The fish was weighed at Andy's shop and said the scales had just been calibrated and gave me a signed verification. I know it's the BRFC verification that counts, but their scales arn't going to be any different from Andy's.
As for entering comps in mags, i think i'm going to need your help as how to go about it if you don't mind, or you can PM me.

I'd like to thank everyone for their continuing best wishes to our Morgan.

This is the best thread I have read on here for a long time. I hope the lad gets the record as I think it will last for a long time.
I was stumped at its identity when I seen the photos.
Well done.

When i spoke to Mr Harris today he told me he rang Alan Yates about it, and Alan couldn't believe the size of it as he said the normal weight for them are about 14oz, hence the qualifing weight for a record being 1lb. Still can't believe what Morgan said last night, that he only brought it home because he didn't know what kind of fish it was. He said he nearly gave it away to a bloke fishing next to him. Unbelievable.

What's the next step mate?

What's the next step mate?

I've had to take a good few photos of it next to a tape measure. I've pulled out to extend its fins top and bottom for pictures. Then emailed them to the BRFC, then downloaded 4 forms they sent me through email to fill in and send off ASAP. Then it's a waiting game i presume. Apparently the committee get together to look at all the evidence then make a decision.

Lets hope they make the right decision and a quick one at that.

I must admit I was totally confussled as to what it was when I saw the picture - I was going to suggest a "Red Herring" Can't see why a few people call it "ugly" though - lumpsuckers, grannies & greenbones a lot uglier in my opinion!
