Huge thames chub bagged

Neil Wayte’s clonking 7lb 12oz Thames chub gave the last bite in a night that saw him catch five from a spot in mid-river. 

Neil told Angling Times: “This is the second 7lb chub I’ve had in the last two weeks.” 

All his fish took Mad Baits Pandemic dumbell boilies fished on a size 8 hook. He baited the spot consistently with hemp and presented a large PVA bag filled with 8mm pellets and crushed boilies over the top every cast.
