What a whopper! This 36 and a half pound salmon was landed on the river Wye by Coventry
What a whopper! This 36 and a half pound salmon was landed on the river Wye by Coventry angler Billy Lane yesterday. Lane caught the massive salmon at Martins Pool, between Hereford and Monmouth. He battled the monster for 45 minutes and finally landed with a gaff. His bait was prawns and he had a 20 lb breaking strain line.
