James’ smashing brace
JAMES CRAMERI has made history by becoming the first man to bank two bream over
20lb.
The Suffolk specialist landed a 21lb 12oz giant – the third biggest ever landed – which braces the 20lb 12oz fish he caught three years ago.
Fishing a large Cambridgeshire gravel pit, he fed sweetcorn, casters, pellets and maggots into a silt gulley at 80 yards to prime his swim.
After setting his traps with legered baits and losing a fish on the first night, the all important bite came at
7.45pm on day two. ®
ONE of the oldest records in the book has been shaken following the capture of a monster eel.
Weighing in at 10lb 2oz, it is just 1lb shy of the UK best caught back in 1978 and fell to the rod of Tony Arbery.
The 55-year-old engineer legered lobworms at a secret Southern lake with the huge fish measuring 46.5in, with a girth of 11.5in. ®Ê
THE countdown is underway to the first ever World Fishing Day, which casts off later this month.
The 24-hour global celebration of angling will be streamed live by Fishing TV on June 23. ®Ê
LAWRENCE KING crowned a trip to Surrey’s Newdigate Farm by slipping the net under a record-equaling golden orfe.
The specimen fell to a method feeder approach and a pellet hookbait, critically balanced with a piece of black foam.
