Re: Just to show what's possible.
A true inspiration to many having fished and succeeded at the waters some of us could only dream of achieving consistent success. Little wonder he is affectionately known in carp circles as 'Sir Pete' yet he manages to go about his angling for other species off of the radar. Certainly not a glory hunter, he simply gets on with catching the biggest fish this country has had to offer.

I am not surprised at all. The man is an amazing angler. And the picture of the yeoveney brace is one of the best pictures of all time.
