Ah wait!......i seem to have got it wrong :oops: :oops: :oops:

there is indeed 66 eligible species for a specimen award but there are quite a few missing in our list. :oops:

we have filled the place of the "missing" fish(so to speak) with non-eligible mini species.

anyway Ronald, just look back through the list there will be a few there that you haven't caught :lol: :lol:

well if silver(freshwater) eel and twaite shad count i dont see why it shouldnt
