Tommy now a record breaker

BROOMHILL COARSE FISHERY Tommy Mitchell smashed the match record on Bethany’s Canal with 132lb 12oz in only four hours.

Some of the guys had to pack up early due to the 40mph winds breaking their poles but the conditions didn’t affect Tommy who caught steadily from end peg 16 on last week’s Wednesday match.
