Harper (pictured) caught 80lb 4oz from peg two on marina to book his place at the Lake View two-day final in September, pipping Roger Parnell and Steve Haywood who finished well out in front.

He then completed a winning double at Lake View by topping the Sunday Open leaderboard with a winning weight just shy of 70lb, taken from peg 17 on canal.
