Iconic Catch
JHF | May 7, 2022
Angler Name: John Harry Ford
Hometown: Doncaster
Fish Weight: 21lb
Bait: RG Crab
Venue: North Lincolnshire syndicate
Rig: Multi Rig
Tactics: Casting to a clear patch with RG Crab and a Hawaiian Pineapple wafter over the top.
Additional Info: This is a fish I’ve wanted to catch for several years and it all finally came together when he finally graced my net. I had to wait until dark to lay a carpet of boilies over a clear patch due to the swans clearing any bait you introduced during the day. Almost immediately after introducing the carpet of boilies the linners came but I had to wait until first light before the bobbin finally tightened up and the rod arched over. After a steady fight at first and then a explosives scrap close in the carp finally surrendered and my battle was won and the wait for my quest was finally done.
