Fishing Update From Opening Days Including an absolute monster

The season opening days have been pretty positive, with lots of mainly roach and dace being caught along all stretches of the river. Fish of the year was won within a couple of hours of the season starting, with our match secretary Bryan Ball somehow landing a huge bream which he thought was a carp for most of the fight! Was weighed in on club scales and witnessed by three others at a massive 9lb 2oz! Was caught at Cuddesdon at a swim which they are currently trying to keep a secret but we will find out somehow! Picture below and in the photos section, they did not think to measure the fish - but the net it is pictured in is 50cm x 40cm.
