Young Oliver Jenkinson from Bedfordshire with his terrific new personal best Barbel, weighing 13lb 2oz, caught from one of his local rivers earlier this Summer!

Ollie, who is 14, has been enjoying a truly prolific season and had already bagged a Barbel of 11lb 5oz last month to set a new best, but really blitzed that with this fine fish.

Once again simple presentation and being careful not to spook the fish paid dividends, with a big chunk of spam on a size 6 Drennan Super Specialist hook to 10lb line being the winning strategy.
