"For the past three years I’ve fished Harris Lake on the Marsh Farm complex in Surrey, catching a few crucians up to 2lb 14oz," he told us.
“This year, though, I decided to join Godalming AC so I could fish Johnsons Lake next door, a water that holds the biggest crucians in the land.
“On my first session I had five wonderful crucians all over the 3lb mark, including this four-pounder.
“A 4mm wafter pellet was the winning hookbait, fished alongside a Method feeder loaded with scalded 2mm pellets.
“I’ll be going back!”
