Pete's Mega Manor Session . . . . . . . .

Head Trafford Honcho and all round big cheese Pete Bennet has well and truly filled his boots on a recent trip to the Richworth Linear Fisheries complex . . . . . .

Proving he can really put his money where his mouth is, our intrepid ' bonsai boss ' (as he's recently been named by trafford's danny due to his small but perfectly formed stature presumably?) embarked on a 72 hour session on Manor Lake. . . . . . . . . .




Having set up and got his armoury all ship shape and bristol fashion for his assault, Pete then proceeded to take six fish in succesion in the first 6 hours of fishing !







Amongst his fantastic tally of 11 fish in total were 3 doubles and no less than 7 fish over the 20lb mark !!!

All fish came to the Active Bait Solutions ' malarkey ' freezer baits, Pete fished over 5 kilos of bait at around 100 yards - fishing to a gravel bar . . . . . . . . . . .








Pete was using his favoured ' Hi- S ' 3.5lb test curve FreeSpirit rods coupled with Daiwa Basia's and 15 lb Catana Mono . . . . . . . . .






Not content to just leave it there . . . . . our intrepid boss went on to bank one of the lakes largest residents . . . . . . known as the birthmark linear, the fish weighed in at a fantastic 37 lb !

An incredible one off session, topped by the fish below . . . . . . . . . .










So well done to pete. . . . . . a man that always delivers the goods ! A mega session and a new personal english best for him into the bargain !
