Saturday 12th February 2005 - Open Match
Gary Thorpe Gary started off with the full intension of catching up in the water at 14.5/16m on the rising shelf of the infamous bar at peg 24, a favorite hot spot at any draw. Not everything was going to plan for Gary as he initially struggled for a few fish. However, with constant chopping and changing throughout the match the GOT TON UP backed angler managed to stay in contact with the fish and record a deserved victory with 66lb to spare.
Dan Jones (Rolfslake) and Mal Talbot (Kamasan) had a belting fight for the bragging rights of second place from Pegs 26 & 27 respectively. Both anglers fished 16m with Sweetcorn and Pellet to take a fish close to double figures. Dan Jones managed 75lb to Mal's 71lb at the final whistle to put a smile on the Rolfslake anglers face. Elsewhere, Stan Robak didn't gamble with going for Carp in the corner peg of the shallow lake, but decided to catch a few silvers - eventually returning 16lb to keep John Harrison in 2nd place for the silver fish coin who took 13lb from Peg 17.
