Thanks to Midlands specialist Ashley Burton for this picture of a 22lb 8oz Mirror which rudely interrupted a Tench session!

Ash doesn’t really bother with carp nowadays but was more than happy with this bonus fish, which actually beat a longstanding (about 10 years) personal best by a small margin, and came from one of his local estate lakes.

He was fishing a feeder for Tench using a Supplex hooklength (for the first time) and a size 10 hook, and also landed a 7lb 13oz Bream – but the tricky Tench managed to avoid him!
