Club-record chub
Just 60 minutes was all David Sansom needed to land this record-breaking 7lb 8oz chub.
The Bedfordshire angler netted the huge fish from a Vauxhall Angling Club stretch of the River Great Ouse near his home.
It’s a specimen that sets a new club record for the species by 2oz, and was tempted by the club bailiff when he used a boilie hookbait hair-rigged to the back of a size 10 hook.
A fish that tipped the scales at 4lb 13oz also showed up during his short session, which began with the introduction of a handful of broken boilies.
