Why do the blokes in the pub always catch bigger fish than me? Just yesterday morning in fact, from a mark I have fished twice since, two guys left with a bag of fish all of which sounded bigger than my PB. What am I doing wrong? Apparently they caught on 'jelly worms'.

Ben they probably cant estimate the weights properly.
I remember 20 years ago as a typical example a bloke who had caught a 'big' perch from a gravel pit I was fishing,two and a half pound plus he said.
When I saw it, it was all of a pound maximum.

Everyone up the pub has caught a bigger one & a better one. Best bet is to join in and lie your arse off with them !! Whatever they claim - you claim bigger & more



:rofl:

Ben, the good fishermen who really catch big 'uns rarely brag about it as they don't want anyone to know where they've been or what they've caught so I would take it with a pinch of salt.
Either that or you're crap coz they can catch 'em on jelly worms!
