The 13th FishOMania qualifier was held on Saturday at Weston Pools Fishery in Oswestry, Shropshire. It wasn’t unlucky for Jordan Holloway, however, as he secured his place in this year’s FishO grand final, winning by just under 30lb.
Holloway won the match from peg 18 on Belvedere. He caught F1s shallow up tight to a bed of lilypads in front of him, before catching some big carp down his edge. He finished the match with a weight of 165lb 3oz. Second place on the day went to Charlie Law with 135lb 8oz from peg 6 on Stretton. David Crandon finished third, catching 121lb 7oz from peg 11 on Weir.
