While many of us focused on this year’s FishOMania Grand Final on Saturday, an important qualifier for this year’s Maver Match This was occuring a short distance away. The qualifier took place at Float Fish Farm in Peterborough, where Ryan Bennett booked his place in the final.
The match was fished on Float Fish Farm’s Phoenix, 2 Islands and Wagtail lakes. 53 anglers competed in total to qualify for this year’s Match This grand final and a chance to win the £70,000 cash prize.
Ryan came out on top with a stunning weight of 283lb 6oz from peg 4 on 2 Islands Lake. Second went to Jon Whincup with 266lb 6oz from peg 22 on Wagtail, with Robert Taylor finishing third with a weight of 203lb 14oz from peg 10 on 2 Islands.
