Mum helps land my PB barbel - Edmund Clark

“I was out barbel fishing on the River Nene with my mum and the very person who taught me how to fish, Mick Beeby.

“After baiting my swim with birdseed, I cast out a 14mm marine halibut boilie with a PVA bag of mixed halibut pellets attached. Two hours later my rod went from straight to bent double!

“I battled it in the flow for 10 minutes and knew straight away it was the fish of a lifetime.

“With a bit of help from Mick and mum with the netting and weighing, I was very happy to see the barbel returned to the river looking healthy.”
