Korda ace beats his personal best three times in same session!Korda backed rod, Jonathan Brown has enjoyed a very productive session on Lake Pelagicavo over in Bosnia & Herzegovina, where he’s been living for the past 14 years, working for NATO. He explained: “Everyone we spoke to commented on how difficult the lake was to fish during the week, almost as if the fish knew when not to feed. My fishing partner, Muhamed Dzafo had reserved swim five, an area I hadn’t fished before. We had fished swims eight and 10 two weekends before and hadn’t managed to catch, so anticipation wasn’t high but we were hoping the stories of the venue fishing hard during the week would prove unfounded.

Rich Le Gros on two new PBs in the same night! Top Korda rod, Rich Le Gros has had his patience rewarded, after banking a new PB common, and a PB mirror at a massive 53lb 8oz on the same session! Rich explained: "I’ve fished a local club water on and off over the last few years and until now the big girls have proved rather elusive. This year I was to put more time rather than flit around to hopefully put one of the big girls on the bank. My first night back on the lake in late April was successful with a 28lb common caught, one I’d had several years previously at 21lb, so it’d shown a healthy gain in weight. Over the next few months, fishing mainly work overnighters, I struggled keeping one step ahead of the fish.
