| Leo Morrison Forbes Spurdog: Leo is about to turn 6 and for his birthday he only wanted one thing, to catch a shark, so we booked a Loch Etive boat and off we went, within the first half an hour his rod was bent double and he was on a fish he was struggling to control he needed a little hand holding the rod but he managed to reel it in about 80ft of water they had about 40 fish in the boat but the biggest was a £7 nose and the first fish of the day, much to Leo’s delight and completed his birthday mission before his 6th birthday! |

| Mr Paterson Barbel: Colin’s Son had a 13lb 4oz Barbel on a recent trip to the A1 pits section of the mighty river Trent to round off a 10 hour round trip from Lanarkshire. Caught fishing the far side on double crab hookbaits. |
 |
| Craig Mason Barbel: Craig has always wanted to catch a barbel so I went fishing alone on the river Trent where he was lucky enough to catch 3 Barbel all putting in a very impressive fight. |
 |
| Michael Tarr Skate: This skate was caught on Saturday 16th October in Oban on the Laura Dawn II out of Oban. t took about 45 minutes to land and involved a lot of sweating and some swearing! |
 |
| David Skwarczylo Skate: 184lb female skate caught from shore on the west coast of Scotland. He took a Pollack on a size 8 meat hook and it took persistence, determination and teamwork to get him out. After getting him unhooked and a few photos taken, David and his friends help him up before he swims to safety. |
 |
| Dylan Grant Sturgeon: Dylan was blanking a Carp session at Drumtassie Fishery when he suddenly went on a single-tone run and hit this Sturgeon. He said it was a 25-minute battle before this ancient beast, known as Maisy, slipped into the net weighing 35lb 2oz. After a quick photo and some care of the Carp he swam hard. |
 |
| Graham Stewart Salmon: Graham decided to go for a cast after work to try out a new line only to be met with an absolute gem of a fish on the first cast a size 10 Dunty Special! He pulled in enough line to get a cast and this fish reached mid-swing. After an amazing back and forth battle across the river Leven he netted this beauty. |
