So far I've managed to beat three Personal Bests this season - rudd and wels by design and barbel by playing the numbers game - but as the target weight increases it gets more difficult each season.

Breakdown across river, canal and stillwater is here.
Phil Smith used to say that a true reflection of your pb list is if you show your 3rd biggest of each species.
ReplyDeleteI however,decline such an open window on my failures. ;o)
I’ve heard of a PB3; it’s where you add the weight of your biggest 3 of each species together then divide by 3 for a true reflection - this removes any freaks and flukes. But I like the odd freak and fluke in my list :-)
DeleteAwesome! has got me thinking...
ReplyDeleteI’m not the first to work these out, both Mick Newey (Quagswagging) and Jeff Hatt (Idler’s Quest) have done this before me - Jeff working out his overall PB percentage.
DeleteMy overall PB is 52.3% - something to improve on...
Plus it highlights the softer targets...
