What a story we have here! After recently joining a new syndicate lake Mike Ryan wanted to use a very high quality food bait but couldn't decide between the B5 or the Black Snail - so he purchased both!!
After catching a few twenties on both baits, Mike then had two sessions he will never forget! On the first of these it was the B5 that came up trumps and yes, you've guessed it, in typical B5 fashion he smashed the lake record with the capture of a new PB mirror of 42lb 14oz.
Just two weeks later Mike was making the long 320-mile round trip back to the venue in question and having run short of the B5, he decided to put the Black Snail through its paces. After spreading 3kgs of Snail over the same spots as he caught the lake record from 2-weeks earlier, Mike was soon doing battle with another big fish. This time the end result was a new PB common at a weight of 41lb 15oz!! The biggest mirror and the biggest common on the bank in two amazing sessions!
Top angling Mike and this wins you our latest 'Top Catch' competition hands down. Well done from all at Essential...
