FOLLOWING a good start to the season on the Fenland drains, southern specimen hunter Simon Baker connected with this immaculate 3lb 8dr rudd.
Simon had already banked several fish over 2lb to a best of 2lb 9oz from the venue this season, but with low air pressure and high winds forecast he knew there was a chance to catch something special.
Arriving late, Simon walked several miles to the stretch before he spotted a large fish roll. After casting out his floatfished breadflake hookbait, he connected with this huge-framed rudd.
