Mathew Friend was celebrating a new personal best on his latest visit to the Monument 2 in Shropshire, after getting his hands on one of the lake’s most-coveted residents.
Known as Olly, the chunky mirror came in at 42lb 5oz, having succumbed to Mathew’s solid-bag tactics of a PB wafter soaked in PB Intense Booster fished amongst a parcel of Crayfish Mini Mix pellets.
“At the beginning of the session, the wind was blowing into my bank and the weather was very overcast, which was perfect,” admitted Mathew.
“I deployed a couple of solid bags, one on a bar and one down the side. We got to midday and the sun made an appearance, just as I had just finished spodding out over my spot. Within an hour my rod burst into action, resulting in a new brand-new personal best for me at 42lb 5oz, an epic mirror known as Olly. It’s fair to say I was absolutely buzzing!”
