10lb 14oz tench landed!

Colin Hebb’s dream of a double-figure tench on the float was realised when he landed this
10lb 14oz fish on breadflake. 

The Yorkshire rod targeted an undisclosed northern stillwater at dawn to get the bite. He said: “I arrived at 3am and fed the swim with mashed bread. 

“Before long the float slid away and I was connected to a powerful fish that made four or five runs into the lilies before I turned it. What a fantastic tench this was!” 

Colin’s tackle consisted of a Drennan float rod coupled with 10lb line and a size 8 hook.
