Topping fish provide location of giant zander
TARGETING a shoal of topping baitfish yielded this menacing 16lb 2oz zander for Martin Hague.
The new PB fell to a small roach deadbait legered in the middle of the tidal River Trent, where he saw the silvers breaking the surface.
Martin said:
“I thought it was a pike at first, but after three good runs and plenty of head-shakes it surfaced for the first time and I saw I’d struck gold.”
