EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the moment of triumph for angler W. Penney, as he proudly displays his world record brace of roach fish, caught on 6 September 1938 at Lambeth Reservoir in Surrey, England. The top fish weighed an impressive 3lb 1 oz, while the bottom fish tipped the scales at an even more remarkable 3lb 14 oz. This catch not only broke the existing record but also etched Penney's name into the annals of fishing history. The year was 1938, a time when the sport of angling was growing in popularity across Britain. The country's vast network of reservoirs, rivers, and lakes offered ample opportunities for anglers to test their skills against the native fish species. Roach, a common and much-loved species, were a favorite among anglers for their fighting spirit and excellent table fare. Penney's achievement was a testament to his skill, patience, and dedication. The photograph captures the excitement and thrill of the moment, with Penney's broad smile and the gleam in his eyes reflecting his pride and accomplishment. The pristine waters of Lambeth Reservoir, surrounded by lush greenery, add to the serene and picturesque setting of this historic catch. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of fishing and a reminder of the enduring appeal of this beloved sport. The record-breaking brace of roach remains a source of inspiration for anglers today, reminding us of the thrill of the catch and the joy of setting new goals and pushing our limits.
