Third time lucky and a 10lb 15oz canal zed
The loss of a big fish is soul-destroying, but Jimmy Sallis bounced back and returned to the same swim to bank this stunning 10lb 15oz zander.
Undeterred by his earlier misfortune, the 32-year-old spent the next two nights fishing Stratford-upon-Avon Canal chasing the ‘one that got away’.
“It came to the top almost straightaway and without hesitation I threw the net under it.”
Jimmy took the fine specimen on a 7ft Korum 7ft Snapper rod with a Fox Rage 12cm Salt N Pepper said mounted on a 12g jighead.
