  • As noted in Angling Times this is "THE GREATEST brace of roach in coarse fishing history". Drennan's Daniel Woolcott talks us through how he goes about targeting big roach from big pits and spills the beans on his recent capture of these two record-shaking fish, all caught on camera!

      @@martinryan8101 No not really, he’s fishing for truly wild, natural and very rare fish, so considerably harder to catch than most fish. Definitely each to their own and yes, it’s just fishing but some catches are more worthy of praise.

    I no longer fish but when I did 20 years ago roach were my favourite and I had a number Of 2lb plus fish on the Upper Great Ouse. My most remarkable memory was being witness to a catch of 18 fish by another angler in one session that were all over 2lb with the biggest being 2lb 11oz..... What a wonderful sight to see your brace of roach and in such lovely condition. 4lb 2oz....PHEW!!....Never thought I'd ever see one that size.

    Wow mate what beautiful roach 😮👀
    I used to love catching roach, back in my fishing days back in the 80s & 90s on my local canals & rivers in the midlands. Be it hemp & tares, bread punch, casters, or bloodworm & joker fishing in the winter. I regularly caught nets of roach over 20lb down my local cut on hemp & tares, and back in the 80s my mate and me discovered bread punch and we would catch over 100 roach on rod & reel in a few hour winter session.
    My best ever roach was 2 lb 3 oz beauty caught in Wales in about 98. I caught it using a pole at 10 metres, fishing a foot deep on sweetcorn and constantly feeding casters & corn - I was actually fishing for carp 😆
    Even though I beat that mythical 2 lb weight, the roach I caught down the canal over the years that weighed a pound and half were fish I value more, just going on the ease I caught big roach from that commercial carp pond in Wales, whereas the canal & river roach are much harder to catch in my opinion.
    I just get bored on the commercial ponds because it's so bloody easy to catch those fish. I used to prefer the challenge of catching proper wild fish.
    Some guys love catching 100 lb or more nets of carp but I'd rather have caught 25 lb of roach 3-4 oz and bigger 👍

    What a pair of magical fish . Reminds me of the biggest roach I’ve ever seen which was caught in a match at ardleigh reservoir. I was lucky enough to be among the first to ever fish there when it opened for coarse fishing .It was full of massive shoals of huge roach. And we was regularly catching forty pounds bags with probably five over two pounds on the waggles. Then we started the original famous grouse league which I ran with the late Dennis Salmon. I think I remember rightly that two fish were weighed at 3-11 one for Billy Allen and one for John Howe
