Graham gets it completely right

The fish were shoaled up in just a few places unfortunately but Graham Wright took full advantage fishing peg 12, catching a fish a cast for the first two and a half hours on bread punch over punch crumb for an all-roach catch of 8lb 15oz.

In second place on peg 27 was David Marzell with 1lb 14oz and in third place came Ray Torrington on peg 10 with 1lb 12oz.
