Well done all. Who'd have thought it - an 8lb bass coming 4th! (Need to get one of those accurate digital scales and weigh it straight away :D).

Well I have to say that an 8lb+ bass did actually win it. It's a bit like that at the moment. Bass seem to be the be all and end all. I liked to see some good specimens of other species represented. The GG, red :) and trigger were all good fish and worthy entries IMHO and it was quite a close thing in the end.

Interestingly, a couple of months back, based on the assumption bass is best, Sunfish choose a bass entry over his big pollack only for a whole load of people to say they would have voted for the pollack :vangry.

This months voting will again test if bass rule supreme or if something more flat will appeal (not that I'm biased or anything).

Trophy has just arrived safe and sound and thanks to OMD for such a great piece of work :):):)

John, I forget, but you have won 2 FOM's? Was that last year and this? Last years trophies and this year are a little different. Glad you appreciate it whatever.

Dave.
