Whilst fishing a syndicate water in Worcester at the start of the season, youngster Zak Kendrick got the surprise of a lifetime as he banked himself this impressive 31lb 4oz specimen.

He told us “I was deadbaiting in the nearside margin when my rod absolutely screamed off. It fought harder than anything else I’ve ever caught! During the fight it jumped out, and it was at that point I knew it was a big one. After netting it and weighing it, I was shocked to have landed such a specimen. It’s the fish of a lifetime.”
Well done ZaK!
