Well long may it continue ! At least if it gets broken then I will have the record for a few more years if it takes them as long as me to get sorted ! Anyone who claims a British record will have to have witnesses , FULLY certified scales from reputable firms ! A friendly local journalist or 2 , a well known tackle dealer involved , lots and lots of patience oh and I nearly forgot photos are not enough ! I actually had to post my fish to london recorded delivery ..It would have been a frog by the time it got there .... so you need all these things unless you live down south !
