Story's like this are one of the few reasons I'm still in love with angling. Thanks for sharing

Thanks all, that Ouse biggie is still the last barbel I've caught, despite trying a few times since! 
I did have a tot up of barbel caught this year (since June), my first 'full' season trying for them. 107 landed I think, with quite a few lost as well.
I'll keep trying odd times through winter where weather and levels allow

Brilliant post mate. Great fish and a great story. I still re-tell some of the magical days I had on the bank and the shore with my dad.
Congratulations on a superb catch that should be gracing the pages of anglers mail etc.
The real prize is doing it with your lad though.

'What a moment, what a fish',I agree can't put a price on something so memorable as that ...
Fantastic....

Magic stuff indeed. Very well done
I took my lad fishing once and the very first bite he had turned out to be a 15lb mirror, it took me ages to get one that size when I started so was very happy for him. I said pick it up then, lets get some pictures to show your mum,
''I aint picking that up dad, it's all slimy and horrible''
He hasn't been since.
