Dan's the main man on the Cedar Pool

Gus Gausden came second with one fish for a level 7lb.

It was a lot better for those drawn on the Cedar Pool. Dan Abbott took the honours with 42lb 13oz from peg four catching on pellet and sweetcorn.

Not far behind was Andy Gausden, who weighed in 42lb 8oz caught on the long pole with red maggot.
