Having caught 20-pounders every month of the year from January through to November, Rich Armistead headed over to Old Mill’s Oak Lake to see if he could complete the sequence with a December twenty.
Well, he didn’t just achieve his objective, he absolutely obliterated it, landing a brand-new lake record in the form of a 50lb 12oz giant mirror!
The 56-year-old from Leeds said: “When I arrived at the lake, I saw some fish showing in an area. I dropped rigs in that area and three hours later the middle rod tightened up. That’s two lake records this year on The Bug. Impressed is an understatement!”
Rich used a Bug EVO bottom bait tipped with a 12mm Bug Corker pop-up, which he presented over a mixture of Bug mini dumbbells, pellets and Bug Hydro Spod Syrup, all dusted in Insect Meal.
