What Weight would you say is agood CHUB??
Nov 10^th, 2009 at 8:51pm

Hello chaps. just wondered what size most would regard as a good/specimen size chub. i know certain river's do 7lb fish reguarly, im in norfolk and 7's are caught but not that often big 6's are fairly common. personally think a chub over 5lb 12oz is a good fish. on 1 river in norfolk a 5-12 would be huge for that particular river. so bound to have different views for certain river's etc. what do you regard as a big chub?? thanks lee...

Reply #1 - Nov 10^th, 2009 at 9:25pm I think that a 'good' chub is a 6lb'er + , however i think that any chub over 5 and a half, you can go home with a feeling of satisfaction and a good result for the day

Reply #2 - Nov 10^th, 2009 at 10:14pm A six from the 'free' areas in Nfk I think are a special fish especially now the furry critters are around. Never done a six myself but close to it so if you have from round this way well done and a seven well what can I say....

Reply #4 - Nov 11^th, 2009 at 8:31am I think you lot are confusing 'good' with 'big'. 'Good' chub are between six and eight... ...inches. Five pound chub seem pretty common on the rivers I fish, sixes less so. I'd go along with a five and half being a satisfying chub.

Stone me! On my local rivers, the Sow and Penk, i count a 4and half as a "good" fish and a 5 is a big 'un (i've had 5 5s in the last 4 years to a pb of 5lb7oz).

I've spoken to a couple of guys who say they've had 6s and i reckon i've seen one that might've gone 7 (i thought it was a carp at first!)

I reckon a 6 is a pretty exceptional fish for my locallity...
