17lb 4oz barbel caught while fishing the River Trent
Timing his session to coincide with perfect river conditions saw Matt Velamail tempt this super 17lb 4oz barbel from the Trent.
The Threefoottwitch Baits man visited a section of the middle reaches of the venue on the final day of a prolonged warm spell.
It fell to an 18mm 3ft Redemption boilie attached to a stringer of loose boilies and came four hours into the session.
