WAITING for the right moment to lower in a rig paid off for Mark Woodage with the capture of this 16lb 9oz Hampshire Avon barbel.
The all-rounder had lain on his stomach for nearly an hour, observing three feeding barbel, before he braved setting a trap.
Mark added:
“I thought the barbel had spooked, but then I had an explosive bite.”
Mark’s Avon giant took a 14mm Big Squid dumbell.
