Same swim...even bigger barbel!
TWO months after landing a 16lb 3oz barbel from the River Lea, Andrew Hunter returned to the same swim to battle with this 17lb 6oz cracker.
The radiographer fished a chunk of meat alongside a PVA bag of chopped meat into a near-bank slack for his new personal best.
He said:
“The power of this barbel was immense. That swim has been busy with other anglers ever since I caught the first barbel, so to catch an even bigger one on my first visit back is a sign that it was meant to be.”
