One of the UK’s hottest prospects could be in line to bag £150,000 from just a handful of matches this summer after he qualified for all of the ‘big three’ finals.
Wirral-based star Kristian Jones has now put himself in this enviable position after he secured a spot in the Maver Match This final where the winner will walk away with £50,000. Competing in the qualifier at Shropshire’s Weston Pools, he drew fancied peg 16 on Weir Pool and made no mistake, fishing shallow with the jigga and casters to put together 198lb of carp, F1s and silvers.

A busy summer awaits Kristian as he has also qualified for the Golden Reel final, doing so at Cheshire’s Partridge Lakes in April with a 171lb 2oz haul from peg six on Covey Canal One. Succeed in the final, and it’s at least £50,000 in his back pocket.
Last but certainly not least, he will also compete in the Fish O’Mania final at Westwood Lakes for yes, you’ve guessed it, another £50,000! No qualification was required for the July 22 showdown at Lincolnshire’s Westwood Lakes, with Kristian automatically bagging a spot for the 2023 final after he won the tournament in 2022.
