Trent produces huge chub

Robert Bown resisted the temptation to pack up early on a rising River Trent and was duly rewarded with this 7lb 14oz chub.

The fish sets a new best for the 33-year-old Nottingham-based field tester for 3FootTwitch, and took an 18mm Redemption boilie cast just two rodlengths out.

“Debris was being washed down, but I’m so glad I stuck it out. I’m over the moon with the new personal best,” he said.
