He was fishing \u201cLa Pointe\u201d swim and placed a birdfood boilie 10m from the far bank in 3m of water. Jason takes up the story:<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u201cAt 5.30am I had a slow take which then developed into a one toner. I pulled into it and the fish shot off around 50m down the lake. The fight was slow &amp; ponderous until it saw our headlights when it went mental! However, after a few scares she slipped into the net. Once on the scales I couldn\u2019t believe it&#8230; the needle was bouncing between 70 &amp; 71lb but after much checking we can definitely say it weighed in at 70lb 2oz. I was one happy chap!<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The previous 3 nights, I had been using my Korda throwing stick to get 3 or 4kg of boilies out to my mark on the far margin but on the Monday I hired Mehdi\u2019s baitboat and dropped 10kg of parti blend, plus 4mm trout pellets with a squirt of Mainline hempseed oil and a few boilies matched to the hookbait. The rest as they say is history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Angling Lines venue Laroussi starts every year with a bang\u2026 and this year\u2019s been no exception with a rake of big fish captures topped by the new lake record mirror \u201cBig Cheeks\u201d at 70lb 2oz.
