A three-mile hike for 7lb 7oz Thames chub
Rivers across the UK are producing some of their best chub form of the season, and big-fish hunter Neil Wayte was certainly celebrating following the capture of this huge fish from the Thames.
It tipped the scales at 7lb 7oz and was fooled with a lump of homemade cheesepaste which he cast to an overhanging willow tree 40 yards across the river.
Neil walked three miles during the course of the day and he beat the specimen with 8lb line, a 6lb hooklink and a size 4 Drennan hook.
