Brian took 82lb 4oz from peg four on canal, less than four pounds ahead of Bob who himself finished just four ounces ahead of third-placed Steve Haywood who claimed the day’s qualifying spot.

The same three anglers also figured prominently in Saturday’s qualifying match with Steve taking the win, and an £80 bonus with victory from the lagoon’s golden peg with 44lb.

Brian was second and Bob came fourth, with third-placed Pete Exton claiming the qualifying spot for next March’s final, as just eight anglers braved the atrocious conditions.

Pete almost bagged himself a win on another day of low weights at the Sunday Open match.

His haul of 28lb 5oz, taken from peg 13 on canal, was good enough for second place in a tightly-packed top three, with match winner Bob Dyer finishing just seven ounces clear.
