Chris Mason had every reason to smile when he banked this impressive pair of big eels.
Targeting a stillwater in the Midlands, the species enthusiast from Walsall, West Midlands, landed fish weighing 5lb 6oz and 5lb 13oz when he fished roach and lobworm hookbaits just a few rodlengths from the bank.
The bigger specimen beats his previous personal best by 5oz and was beaten by the 28-year-old when he fished rigs made from 60lb braid and size 4 hooks.
