The past fortnight has seen very little caught from the Kennet at Burghfield but prior to the onset of colder and more changeable conditions Dave Middlemore landed this excellent barbel of 14lb 1oz.

Dave commented:
“The bait was cast midstream and small plucks were followed by a slow take. When I struck, I really had no idea how big it was, just that it felt like a good fish. It made 2 or 3 strong runs before settling into a routine of plodding up and down in front of me. Actually, I suspected it was a big fish when I tried to lift it from the bottom and couldn’t!”
