When we think of big chub rivers, it’s the waterways of southern rivers that dominate catches. However, there are some very large fish residing in East Anglia, too, as Harvey Jackson showed..
..with this 7lb 5oz specimen landed from a river in Suffolk. It’s a huge fish for the region and was landed by the 20-year-old after spending many cold nights on the river. The bite came a short while after midnight, with the fish falling to a cheese paste hookbait.
Well done Harvey!
