Big Wye pike capture witnessed by Passion for Angling star

THE capture of a personal best 27lb River Wye pike was made that little bit more sweeter for big fish fan Robert Hall when he had the honour of having angling TV celebrity, Bob James help him land it.

The ‘Passion for Angling’ star watched on as the huge predator took the 30-year-old, Dudley rod’s float-fished roach deadbait just half an hour after starting his session on an unknown stretch of the River Wye in Herefordshire.

“At first I thought it might just beat my previous best of 16lb but once close to the net I realised it was much bigger” said Robert.

“Its not everday you get a result like that and to have my hero witness it at the same time is just a dream come true” he added.
