Gone for the Wharf fish. It's took some hammer this river, lovely fish too.
Excellent prize too from Gardner. Well done Andy? For that.

 

[Graham Hunt]

Definitely the Wharfe fish for me.

 

[Darren Hawen]

Hants Avon fish gets my vote. A well proportioned and beautiful looking Barbel.

 

[Clive Shipman]

Wharfe for me.

 

[Steve Foran]

Wharfe fish for me.

 

[Stuart Brookes]

I voted for the Wharfe as a double in the desolate North is not that common.

 

[Karl Heptonstall]

Wharfe fish has to win here when you put it in context. Cracking fish for this river.

 

[Mike Hodgkiss]

Ditto Karl and the others ,that is an awesome fish from the Wharfe and in such beautiful condition as well

 

[Mark Mole]

Voted warks avon,only 1lb 8oz under the river record which was set at the end of the river season not the beginning which puts that into context!

 

[Nick Clark]

Can't vote because I'm caught between the Kennet 13+lber looking like the most intelligent thoughtful fish I've ever seen (apart from the obvious "doh I got caught! inevitability of the situation) and the big smile behind the biggest fish which is from the Loddon. Moderators surely you can fix a split/half vote for these 2?

 

[Derek Funcks]

Because there's so many stunning photo's, and its difficult to decide, ive gone for the one that i think looks the best, and the fish she is holding isn,t bad either. well done that girl.

p.s. if you ever need someone to carry your gear.

p.p.s. if there hadn,t of been a young damsel involved, and because i was a huge fan, i,d of gone with a Benny lookalike from Crossroads with a stonking Lodden specimen. Fantastic fish, well done young man.

 

[Nick Coulthurst]

Wharfe fish for me too, with the Warks Avon fish running it a close second.

[Paul Hamer]

Wharfe fish for me, cracking catch from a hard river. Very well done to the rest, very nice fish.

 

[Ray Thorpe]

Wharfe fish for me, a very hard river. Had a few blanks on the Wharfe.

 

[Robert Linwood]

River kennet fish for me

 

[Steve Holt]

Wharfe fish for me, a good fish for this time of year from a rock hard river.

 

[Ian Clayton]

Got to be the Wharfe Barbel for me too !!

Looks like all the yorkshire anglers are voting for this one.

 

[Ian Crook]

Wharfe for me too, so long as I can spit every time I say Yorkshire, spit!!

I know Mark won't mind, Benny from crossroads lol

 

[Mike Lowrence]
