New series: Legendary catches and the British Record Fish Committee
Have you ever dreamt of catching a British record fish? With a warming climate and more access than ever to quality specimen fishing, any angler might just be lucky enough to catch a record these days.

To kick things off, Angling Trust Blogger Dominic Garnett spoke to British Record Fish Committee secretary Nick Simmonds to find out more about the organisation and the process of how to claim a record fish.
