PB pike claims the Monk Lakes title

IT WAS third time lucky for Kelly Crush who finally won an annual Monk Lakes pike competition when this 25lb beast devoured her float-fished smelt.

The predator expert has been a runner-up in the last two matches and would’ve blanked in the latest, had her float not disappeared just five minutes before the final whistle!

She said:

“When I found out the pike was bigger than my previous PB of 21lb 8oz, I jumped around screaming and hugging my friends – the atmosphere was amazing and everyone was smiling and cheering!”
