much chance of doubler bass in ne?

[ShArK12]

On the 22nd july last year i got my PB bass of 77cm and by B.A.S.S measurments it was 10lb + this was caught on my home made wood plugs.
It took 3 long runs before i managed to bring it in, the only bad thing about it was i didnt have my camera and bloody Android phones dont work with wet fingers.
Didnt matter how much i tried to dry my hands, i was rushing as i didnt want the bass out of water too long.
Yes i like C&R as much as i can .
the plug i used was my own made Wood needle fish plug 1oz

this is before it was finished , it was much darked black and it had eyes sadly its no longer with me as after one loud crack of braid and away it went, my favourite plug lol.

Dont be put off by using the bigger plug this is a 2oz

and this is a hand carved version of the above

all the best Mark

these are the biggest I have recorded, loads around 5-7lb and a few 8-9lb

Bass P Farnell 10 2 0 Filey Brigg
Bass Joeseph Bamfield 10 7 8 Scarborough
Bass Alan Tompkinson 11 4 4 South Shields Big Beach
Bass Stephen Softly 11 6 3 Steetley

Charlton, do you have a date for Joe's Catch, I didn't know he still sea fished. I used to match fish with him, great angler, and a nice bloke. Comes from family of very good anglers, legends, won about everything there was to win, several times, around scarborough fishing scene.
I am not sure, but I think I am right in saying there was a 9 pounder caught in either the Scarboro., or Filey festival this last year ?
