The 19th The Golden Reel qualifier of the season was held at Lindholme Lakes in Doncaster on Saturday. As with last week’s qualifier at Partridge Lakes, regular match organiser Phil Briscoe is on holiday. Sadly, we don’t have the full details and interview with this week’s winner. Thankfully, the staff at Lindholme did a good job of providing some match details.
The match was fished on Lindholem’s Willow and Laurels lakes, with the victory going to Waybe Ibbotson from peg 15 on Laurels. He won the match by over 50lb with a finishing weight of 190lb 14oz. The two competitors securing a spot in this year’s semi-final are Danny Slack and Charlie Law. Danny finished in second place with 137lb 1oz from peg 40 on Laurels, whilst Charlie came third with 129lb 7oz from peg 3 on Laurels.
