| Angler John Leyland shows off a huge chub of 7lb 4oz, which helped him win the Bradford Number One contest on the River Nidd at Cowthorpe |
A brace of chub weighing in at over a stone provided John Leyland with the match of a lifetime.
Drawn below the gauging hut, he topped the 30-peg Bradford Number One contest on the Nidd at Cowthorpe with a seven-fish haul of 32lb 3oz.
Offering waggler to the far-bank willow cover, he picked the monsters off on a double maggot offering.
A fish of 6lb 11oz is one to remember, but his amazing bag was topped off by a huge chub of 7lb 4oz.
The beast is possibly the largest chub ever landed in a match and equals the biggest ever banked in Yorkshire.
Runner-up Fred Prudham (Medlock Bridge) also had seven chub from two below the foot bridge.
His fish, which fell to stick and maggot, were of a more standard stamp and scaled 13lb 6oz.
