Starting on the pinkie over groundbait he was quickly into small roach, but the master stroke that saw him stand out from the rest of the field was a switch to hemp and tares.
I kid you not! Seed baits are often the reserve of summer time action, but the big roach were in a feeding mood and John cleverly realised this and finished up netting roach to 12oz.
Mark Chesters came second. With no seed baits with him he relied on a whip approach with pinkie and maggot over groundbait to weigh in 12lb 12oz.
Third place went to Don Green on 10lb 7oz.
