I started on the feeder exactly how I\u2019d practiced and was catching fast. This line slowed considerably after the first two hours so I dropped onto the bolo and caught decent roach steadily until the end.<\/p>\n<p>I had heard Danny Moonesamy, my Team Army teammate had caught a barbel a few pegs upstream, so I knew it would be close. I\u2019ve weighed 3.550kg to his 3.850kg, but I was chuffed to finish 2<sup>nd<\/sup> overall on my third time fishing a river. Unfortunately, both new lads came last in their section and our team didn\u2019t do very well at all.
