Paw-Print mirror caught at 42-4-0Browns Angling's Purchasing Manager, Stewart Briars, enjoyed the session of a lifetime last weekend - after banking the famous Wraysbury Paw-Print at a weight of 42-4-0. Stewart netted the monster after fishing the notoriously tough water just four times - and was elated with his capture.
