His 15th night on a lightly-fished water in the Colne Valley gave Dave Harman this 5lb 8oz eel.
“During the initial trips I had some strange bites that I couldn’t connect with so I felt encouraged to continue,” he said.
Dave eventually caught the fish by touch-legering over a raked spot with a Dyson rig, presenting lobworms 18ins off the bottom close to the bank. His tackle consisted of 13ft 3.5lb rods, 18lb Synchro XT mainline and a size 8 Korda Continental hook.
