Lake View angling: Arme picks up double win and golden bonus
Arme took a combined weight of more than 300lb in his two wins, winning Sunday’s Open with 153lb, as well as last Wednesday’s Summer Series qualifier with a weight just a few ounces shy of 150lb.
He picked up a £60 golden peg bonus for the lagoon pool, while third-placed Bob Greenbury also earned a bonus for coming out on top of the marina weights after drawing the golden peg.
