Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Seasoned campaigner and regular angler aboard the Shy-Torque, John Wilcock, has had a few belting days fishing with us in this years Summer competition.
John, who has won this competition more than any other angler and has taken over £12,000 from the events over the years was chasing the big one again yesterday!!
Working a wreck just over 30 miles off, John hooked in to what we thought was the winner at 9.30am.
When we weighed the fish at the scales at the end of the day we found that he had missed the top spot by a mere 1lb !!!!
Johns fish was quite possibly heavier than the current leader when we first boated it but after 7 hours and 30 mins out of the water they do lose a fair bit of weight. That's the way it goes!!
John is pictured with his ling of 20lb 5oz which is currently 2nd overall in the competition and won him a 1st daily prize.
