Monday 8th September
Top fish of
Day 3, which has now taken the top place,
was a Conger Eel, caught by Roger Beer, from
Ivybridge, who is a member of the British
Conger Club. Roger hooked his big Eel on a
mid-Channel Wreck mark, aboard Kevin Tate's
Torquay charter boat, "Anne Clare".
It was taken back to the weigh-in station at
Torquay, but proved to be far too heavy for
the scales there, so it was put back
on-board "Anne Clare". Kevin Tate and
Roger, rushed by sea back to the weigh-in
Station at Brixham.
On arrival
at Brixham, it was weighed accurately on the
calibrated Yard-arm scales, where it
recorded 109 lbs 8 ozs. (199.091% of the 55
lb Specimen weight set in Torbay Festival
for Conger from Wreck). Wow !

This Eel was later weighed on calibrated
scales at Brixham where it recorded
109 lbs 8 ozs

Another Lady angler, Allyson Thomas, from
Wales, who featured so prominently in last year's Festival,
and the preceding one as well, has been fishing hard
throughout the week. Today Allyson caught a top quality
Ling, in excess of 18 lbs, from a Wreck mark, aboard Dave
Harrison's Dartmouth charter boat "Gemini". Such is the
quality of this year's competition, that Allyson knew that
it would not be quite good enough to secure a winning spot,
and so did not weigh it in. |
