When I saw the way the cold wind was hitting it I feared it was game over. I caught my one and only F1 with 12 minutes to go, which was a nice big 5lber, and added a few roach for 6lb. Next door had 3lb, but I doubt I beat anyone else. I never gave up so I\u2019m not sure what else I could have done. Moody Molands strikes again!<\/p>\n<p>It was still nice to make the top 5 out of 60 anglers and I must say very well done to Lee Richards on a convincing win and all the other framers. Also a huge thanks to John Burchell and his Packington Fishery team for running an excellent league.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a unique venue and I\u2019ve had some great matches over the series&#8230; plus a few to forget.
