He finished with 124lb 3oz, all taken close in on meat from peg five.

In the runner-up spot was Andy Gausden. He caught on the long pole with pellet to start with but the strong wind saw him resort to a close-in approach on red maggot which in fact worked out well for him as he put 112lb 11oz to the scales.
