Having spent most of his first season fishing for a Barbel new member Terry Kennard finally achieved his ambition of catching one of the Rothers’ specimens when he put the net under this magnificent 14lb 4oz beauty.
The fish was hooked and landed during a heavy downpour of rain on the 26th February at Coultershaw.

Well done Terry! – and now you’ve broken your duck in some style you’ve still got time to catch some more this season too.
