Hi Fred,
Just to finish the places…..
5th Steve Bettis 11lbs 14ozs
6th John Holt 11lbs.
It would have been nice to have won a 3rd CSSC individual National title, but it was not to be. The only fish I lost all day was a rouge double figure Carp (which I played for about 5mins with all my pole out, before the hook sprang and came out) I was on light(ish) gear so only had a small chance of getting it in anyway.
My Congratulations also go to Phil Mason for a good match win.
Anyone who weighed over 10lbs did very well on the day.
Lastly (but by no means least) thanks also to Paul Kitchen, Mr Richardson and all of the other helpers for running the match.
