It isn’t just traditional predatory species that will eat a livebait, as Mark Barratt found last week when he landed this huge 37lb 15oz carp on a small rudd offering intended for catfish. The 36-year-old, from Wilburton in Cambs, was filming a new series of the satellite TV series Predators when his bite alarm signalled a vicious take. Mark initially ...

So tomorrow... I'm faced with a quandary. I'm going pike fishing with a mate to a very good water - my mate's last three fish have been over 20lb.

Deadbaits wouldn’t be many anglers’ first-choice bait for a big perch, but a lifeless small roach proved irresistible to this impressive Trent stripey weighing 4lb 1oz. The Trent predator was tempted by specimen angler Bryan Culley after experiencing a number of fast, aborted runs while targeting the middle river’s pike population. A switch to lighter tackle resulted in an immediate ...

A livebait freelined in gin-clear water accounted for this stunning 33lb pike caught by German predator fanatic Christian Paschmann from an undisclosed lake in his homeland. It is the second thirty the Pro Logic consultant has taken over the past month, having landed a fish of just over 34lb from a Danish stillwater on a trolled lure two weeks before. ...
