Freezing temperatures and high water levels wasn’t enough to stop predator angler Adomnicai Andrei fishing the River Trent and he was rewarded in style when he banked this lovely 15lb 2oz Zander!
He told us “After a 6lb pike early on, I continued to fish through the cold. It was a challenge, but I had a feeling that I’d catch my target zander. Suddenly, the lure was hit by what felt like a lorry and my heart started racing. The powerful fish stayed deep, and after a good battle my friend netted a 15lb 2oz zander which took a liking to a 10cm homemade lure.”
