6lb Derwent chub
River fishing fanatic Julian Barnes has built an affinity with the Derbyshire Derwent, with the venue producing this 6lb 4oz chub for him.
Having heard the waterway was in perfect condition, he journeyed from his home in St Ives, Cambs, to take advantage of the action.
Using a MAD Bait boilie and a small bag of loosefeed inside a PVA bag, he was soon into action and ended the stint with five barbel to a best of 14lb 1oz and the solitary bonus chub.
