Oxford specimen hunter Eamonn Deeley travelled up to Scotland to fish Loch Awe, hoping to break his duck of a 20lb pike from across the border after many years of trying.

And he succeeded with this cracker of 20.6.0, which was one of 34 pike caught over two weeks.

Eighteen of those were doubles.

The successful tactics were legered eel section to 20lb main line, with a 30lb wire trace to size 8 hooks.
