The England Veteran and Kamasan Starlets team man caught the impressive fish at Meadowlands Fishery while shooting a magazine article. The light tackle was actually intended for roach and skimmers, of which he caught plenty during the session, but it didn’t stop him netting this all-important bonus fish to add extra excitement to the day.
