Essential Bait rolling manager Lee Willmott has had a season he won’t forget in a hurry with a rake of big fish, including a personal best UK mirror at 41lb 4oz followed by a personal best Belgium river mirror of 47lb 4oz and now he’s gone and done it again with the capture of a new personal best UK common at 35lb 12oz! Not bad when you consider he only fishes about three nights each month!
Lee extracted the big common from a large weedy Glos pit where he introduced a kilo of Winterized B5 boilies to a clearing amongst weed at approx 40-yards. Even more satisfying was the fact that his ‘old man’ blanked during the same session!!
