salokcinnodrog Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 A proper sized bronze bream, abramis brama is the latin name. If you think that 6lb is probably the average size, that is definitely a good fish.😉 cromiee and ... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was only 8lb 5oz. (I think) If you look at your Bream , Cromiee , and then Highys' Bream what a difference in colours ; any Bream I catch tend to be more a slate grey . grey . The heads of both yours and Highys' Bream look similar , and the bigger the Bream the more " slab" like they are i.e. much flatter than the more rounded body of a Carp . 😃 cromiee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpbell_ll Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Don't mind a big bream myself, not had a bream since the brace i had out of pine pool, one of the reasons i carry scales and a camera today, both were easy doubles and that is all i will say on size guessing that catch, the ranger was very interested when told, very few bream in that water and very old they may of been in there since before pine pool and surrounding smaller waters were cut into one lake. salokcinnodrog and ... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a couple of big bream during a carp session, both 9's. It prompted me to go to tackle more suited for them and target them. Two doubles was the result, a 10.4 and a 12.

So if whilst scaled down for bream, you happened to catch a lake record carp would you not claim it? I mean this as a general question BTW, as it seems lots of anglers don't think a big bream should count if you happen to be fishing for carp, so surely a big carp wouldn't count if you happened to be fishing for bream, 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greekskii Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Looking at these two bream maybe I should have weighed the two slabs I had a couple years back 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ Unhooked in the water during the wee hours after being plagued by tench and bream but they were bigger than those by far! cromiee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
