Anybody fill me in on the result ?- decided to watch it today and found out that the wife had cancelled the sports package on our Sky since we don't watch it - guess she was right since I hadn't noticed! Ho Hum.....

Thanks - correct me if I'm wrong but that winning weight has blitzed the record for the final, by about three times?

 

Must have been a good match

most of them were margin fish to eh what a days fishing, and the rain held off until the end.

 

rumour had it that it had smashed the venue match record as well.

 

25 grand nice end to a days fishing like that eh.

A fantastic weight indeed. Testament to a very good angler.

 

I noticed the guy who came 2nd used a completely different fishing technique to Neil Machin.

Whilst neil Machin used a smooth, unhurried angling technique, the 2nd place fella opted for a more bullying approach. He also appeared to rush to land his fish. This resulted in him losing a very large number of fish which I'm sure would have won him the match had he not used a bit more caution whilst playing the fish.

 

Still, the match went to the wire. I'm sure Neil machin had in mind the final from 2 years ago when he was pipped right at the end of the match. I remember him losing a fish at the death due to him trying to land it too early.

 

How refreshing though was to see just how "ordinary" the anglers were. No airs and graces, just normal, everyday fellas who enjoyed fishing. A far cry from the jumped up sports personalities we normally see on Sky Sports!
