HAVING landed his first three-pound rudd last week, Kevin Sanders has just smashed his PB again with this 3lb 5oz specimen.
The Cambridgeshire angler was fishing the same pit in his home county where he caught his first three-pounder, and used the same tactic – a pellet-loaded Method feeder with a 12mm yellow pop-up boilie hookbait – to tempt this fish.
On this occasion, however, he only had a short morning session at his disposal, so he headed to the same swim he’d had success in previously.
After landing a good common carp that muscled in on the action, Kevin was left feeling gutted after losing what felt like a big rudd when it found sanctuary in a lily bed. However, it wasn’t long until he struck into another good fish, and this time he made sure to steer it well clear of trouble before netting it at the first time of asking.
