Default Thornton big fish

Hi Chaps

I caught this 8lb 5oz monster yesterday off the bank at Thornton and at last i got to use some backing . It made three awsome runs after taking my own Green and Black tadpole. It took 10 mins to land and lets hope it stays the biggest all season so i get a free season ticket next year, thats if Ifors doing it again. It would have took the top spot last year but i wont hold my breath just to be kicked in the nuts on the last day of the season.

I'm not belittling your achievement, but it looks freshly stocked. The tail and dorsal look clipped, and all the fins look like suffering from cage damage. I know Ifor's fish are of cracking fighting quality.
