A short session on a North Yorkshire venue resulted in a new personal best tench weighing 6lb 1oz for Stevie Hardwick.

The 40-year-old from Teesside tamed the fish from Cornhill Farm at East Cowton, using feeder tactics close to an island margin. He used 8lb line, a small Drennan In-Line Method Feeder with crushed hemp groundbait and an 8mm pellet on the hook.
