Local knowledge pays off with 21lb Lakes pike

March 31, 2016 Bauer Xcel

Geoff Birtwistle had every reason to smile when he slipped the net under this immaculate 21lb pike.

The Bury angler is a season ticket holder at the popular Esthwaite Water Trout Fishery in Cumbria and made his knowledge count when he tempted the predator after fishing a float-legered mackerel from a boat.

The pike season on the venue finishes on March 31 and reopens again on October 1.
