Does anyone know what river Colin Smithson's barbel was caught at?

My theory is that the 21lb 2oz barbel was caught from the river Cuckmere, but cant find any records of barbel ever being caught there.

I've purposely not joined there as it was already a circus.
Shame as I had mates fishing it (and for the Carp) and one of them had that fish (and others a bit smaller)

Hopefully it won't see too much pressure... I'd hate for a beautiful creature like that to get caught too much and die.
