Biggest barbel of the season landed!

A SINGLE Monster Crab and Chilli boilie has accounted for the biggest barbel of the season at 17lb 2oz.  

It came from an undisclosed southern river and equals Roman Vann's  pb for the species.

Roman said: “I fished pellet alongside my hookbait but had to feed a lot to keep other species at bay. Everything seems ravenous this year – I was plagued by roach on 15mm boilies in this particular swim!

“The frame of this barbel was truly amazing, and I’m sure it will grow on to be a proper whale!”

Roman’s rig comprised a size 8 Gardener Talon Tip hook and Thnking Anglers components.
