AFTER a run of 18 sessions trying to catch a big eel, Daniel Woolcott was rewarded for his perseverance when slipped his net under a personal best weighing 6lb 4oz.
The Kent-based specialist caught the specimen from a deep margin swim on a southern gravel pit.
He said:
“At 4am I bent into a proper one which put up a great fight.”
The fish fell to an air-injected lobworm fished over a bed of dead maggots and groundbait.
