EXCLUSIVE! 4lb 3oz roach rocks the British Record fish

This morning a monster 4lb 3oz roach was caught from a syndicate lake in Suffolk, a fish which is just 1oz under the current British Record. 

The redfin was caught by design by Ken Fuller and it's believed to be the joint second largest authenticated roach in the UK. It joins the likes of the current best by Keith Berry at 4lb 4oz from Northern Ireland in 2006 and the iconic 4lb 3oz record by Ray Clarke from the Dorset Stour. 

The full story and pictures will be in next week's Angling Times.
