BUCHAN PARK TROPHY - 21/06/2003

Seven anglers competed for the Buchan Park trophy in a 12 hour all night competition. 

At the halfway stage Lenny Wells had already beaten the previous record for the match with 41lb 13oz of bream.  Second at this stage was Kath Harvey with 30lb.

The second half of the match proved to be a nailbiter for the leader. Phil Harris decided not to fish the first half and turned up at first light. Pegged opposite the leader Phil started catching bream while Lenny struggled.  In the end Lenny managed to hang on adding  4lb 5oz for a venue record of 46lb 2oz.  Phil finished second with 35lb 1oz.

The match was notable not just for the venues bream.  A 19lb 15oz carp and a 3lb crucian were amongst the fish caught.

7 Anglers - Total Weight 163lb 4.5oz
