Fishing on Christchurch Lake in the early hours of Tuesday morning, Ed managed to land the 44.14lb fish which goes by the name of Poolie.
Ed said ; “I have really want to catch ‘Poolies’ ever since I saw a photo of it and then when I netted it for a mate in March and saw it in the flesh it became a higher priority on my wish list. Its unique scale pattern from its big plated linear scales to the small pearly scales on its flank and dark colouration make a special fish to catch”

Chub Academy member John Patterson has landed a superb 48lb PB Common.
Fishing on provate syndicate, John caught the fish 2 feet from the bank using a double chum mixer.
John said; “With a bit of care and luck I managed to lower my hook bait into position and she came up and took it straight away. The fight was heart in the mouth stuff, I ended up having to jump into the lake to get a better angle whilst playing the fish, after five minutes I had her in the net “
John caught the fish using Greys X – Flite Plus 3lb rods.
