King of the Catch 2015, Predator Winner, Barry Fisher

Early Saturday morning our 2015 Predator King of the Catch, Barry Fisher, set off with his wife, Hannah, for the holiday of his dreams: a week fishing in Thailand. Barry won the predator competition last year with an incredible 714 votes for his 5lb 11oz eel. He has been an avid angler for many years, so he couldn’t quite believe it when he found out he won our competition, last September. He even commented that he was ‘blown away’ by the news – which takes some doing for a former RAF boy!

Early reports from Thailand show that Barry and Hannah are already making some cracking catches. Both Barry and Hannah have already caught plenty of stunning redtails, including one whopper that tipped the scales at 45lb! They haven’t always come easy, though, and the Thai fish really have been putting the pair through their paces to avoid blanking. We’re keeping up with all of Barry’s catches on his Facebook. If you’d like to stay up to the minute with Barry’s angling action you can like his page... Barry Fisher - Apprentice Specimen Angler.

We can’t wait to hear the full report from Barry when he returns home at the end of the week.
