One of Andy’s huge tench from Wilstone

Andy Nellist had a dream season in 2003/04, taking some massive catches of huge tench, perch, bream, barbel and chub.

Any one of his best fish of his campaign would be a lifetime’s best for any angler:

Tench: 11lb 11oz

Bream: 14lb 13oz

Perch: 4lb 8oz

Chub: 7lb 5oz

Barbel: 13lb 2oz

Andy narrowly beat runner-up Ted Bryan to take one of the specialist angler’s most prestigious awards, the long-running Drennan Cup and a first prize of £ 2000.

Well done Andy!
