Team Daiwa top at the Glebe. Seventy-two anglers fished in not the kindest of conditions in this years Angling Trust Masters, with little wind on many of the lakes making the resident fish more difficult to catch. This top class field still managed some exceptional weights however, with 30 anglers weighing in more than 100lbs each. Top individual on the day was Match Fishing Magazine's Joe Carass fishing for Press Pack with a magnificent weight of 198lbs 14 oz.
