Specimen Fishing

Specimen hunting: The aim with this type of coarse fishing is to specifically target a chosen species of fish, in order to weigh and photograph it when you catch a personal best. The main target species for this branch of coarse fishing include carp, pike, zander, barbel, chub, perch and Wels catfish. Some dedicated specimen anglers spend weeks camping by the waterside waiting for that "fish of a lifetime".[
