The New ‘Big Event’ season has only just got underway and already the two newest signings at Bait-Tech have set the pace for rest of the team. Showing they mean business, Steve (Tucks) Tucker (Garbolino, Bait-Tech) who only signed days before went straight in and won the very first Fish O Mania qualifier at Viaduct fishery. His 103lb was enough to beat off some top class opposition and confirm his place and shot at the televised 30k winner takes all prestigious event.
That great win was soon followed up by other new signing Les Thompson (Matrix, Bait-Tech) who tackled the other big event of the year, the Maver Match This. Les fishing the Boldings round caught a very impressive 107lb of F1s and carp in some less than favourable conditions. He secures his spot in the coming final later this year and a lot of hard work and practice will make him very hard to beat in the quest for the massive 50K winners’ purse.
So, with the new lads setting the pace at the start of the season and some other big events still to kick off will current UK Champion Jason Le Bosque (Bait-Tech, Garbolino) defend his hard fought victory and last years’ crown? Or will current Drennan Knock Out Champion, Bait-Tech’s very own Gary Miller chase down the title for a second year running and be the first man to do so? With the undefeated and twice finalist Ian Didcote (Bait-Tech, Garbolino) back in action, I guess we have to wait and see.
Here at Bait-Tech we are certainly looking forward to seeing them in action and wish them all the very best in the coming season.
