Martin Bowler and his haul of gravel pit roach!

[@geraldswain3259]

That's got to be one of the greatest catches of specimen coarse fish ever .

As ever inspiring fishing great to see the passion no matter the species.

That must rank as one of the best, if not THE best roach hauls ever. I have never caught a roach approaching that size, and to catch several OVER 3 lbs in one session is stupendous!! Now I rate Martin as up with the very best big fish anglers in the UK and I don’t think we have a better “ specimen hunter” around. What I think is important to note tho’ is that these fish were caught using simple tackle and baits that anyone can afford. I have pushed this same set-up for beginners on my channel and if you were in the right place at the right time anyone one can catch big fish. Maybe not of that calibre but certainly very big roach! So I take my hat off to Martin. Bill
