JAMES BUCKLER 11lb

BIG tench often fall to carp anglers’ tactics, as James Buckler found out when he landed this 11lb beauty from Manor Farm at Linear Fisheries in Oxford. It fell to a Dynamite Baits Monster Tiger Nut pop-up over a bed of Red-Amo boilies, hemp and corn. He said: “It wasn’t my target species, but it was quite a specimen.”
