Monster Nene chub landed!

This chub, claimed to weigh 8lb 2oz, came from the River Nene near Peterborough.

It was banked by Anthony Holland, who was fishing a stretch near Peterborough, Cambs. The 36-year-old had already taken a 5lb 2oz fish from another section of the river when the big one took a hair-rigged chunk of spicy sausage fished alongside a swimfeeder crammed with krill groundbait. 

Anthony, aged 36, said: “My mate and I weighed it twice, just to make sure. Catching it was one of the best days of my life!”
