Aup,

I know that naming fish isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it happens and a lot of the time its how people identify targets (or fish they would like to catch).

What is the etiquette when someone incorrectly claims a fish?

Sad, I know but on ‘my’ lakes quite a few people are claiming a fish as the lakes biggy but down in weight, and also claiming fish to be named ones that aren’t?

A fish I have been after for a few years now has been claimed by 2 people, but it isn’t that fish.

Sad thing to get one’s knickers in a twist over but Id like to put these people right but not sure about it as I don’t really know them.

I could just leave them to it but its on bait makers insta pages, their pages etc and its triggered me!

Call them all Dave, I do, it drives people nuts.

They'll probably be glad if you tell them as they'll still have a target to go after....but...if you don't tell, them they might bugger off thinking they've caught their target and give you a better chance 😉

…or if they’ve caught a few, it’s “big Dave and the Davettes” lol 😂
