Angler: Ben Creaser
Species:Bass
Tackle used: Abu suveran uptider, Avex SX, 30lb Power Pro, Redgill Blue/White.
Caught: 16 July 2016 from boat Fish Ardour a private boar out of Sandown Isle of Wight.
Ben said 'I hit into a fish which felt half decent from the start - as it neared the surface, struggled to get it out from under the boat & had a feeling it was a big fish, but as it surfaced realised it was a special one! On board we sometimes have the "is it - or isn't it" discussion before weighing a bass on whether it goes 10lb... This one was "that's well over 12lb!" - bloody huge fish, bringing the scales to 13lb 12oz - PB ! After a few snaps she went back and needed a calm down with my vapouriser'.
