Adrian Pinder has been targeting big grayling for some time now and has managed 4 fish over the 3lb mark over the last few years but nothing could prepare him for his latest capture!

He told us “I have been putting in a considerable amount of effort over the years in search of big grayling and have had 4 over the magical 3lb mark but was over the moon when I slipped this beauty of 3lb 8oz over the net. After an epic fight in fast flowing water I looked in the net and could see it was a 3+ but was gobsmacked when the scales went round to 3lb 8oz.”
