Simon Walker smashed his barbel personal best with this 16lb 8oz specimen – taken on just his fourth session targeting the species on the River Trent.
The site supervisor’s previous best was set on a guiding trip with the late great Jan Porter back in 2001, and stood at just 3lb 8oz.
Simon fished meat close in with a 4oz feeder loaded with Marukyu EFG151 groundbait and 2mm pellet. The barbel fell in the early hours of the morning.
