Splendid job Davey, 3 CP forties in a season. Not bad!
Blimey no stopping him!!

I also like the way he popped down to horton a few times this season and helped himself to a few fish including the peach! just like that!
Top angler.
Dave.
Don't forget Sutton as well!

Well done ! an excellent result.
He would also get my vote for top angler.
Steve..
Totally awesome result, well done Dave.
Daiwa Carp Master for sure i would of thought. What about the Cobra award, ok they are known fish, but what Dave has caught this year is just a bit special.

Sorry to disagree but Chris Curry gets my vote in the Carp Master awards this year.6 thrities and a shed full of twenties from a pit in 4 visits plus those monster river carp.No disrespect to Dave but the river and canal fish would have been enough to get my vote.Let alone catching a 30 plus common from the Nene for the TV cameras.
Nah way Neil - can't possibly compare that with Dave's results from three of the hardest venues in the country- andnayway, by there very nature river carp aren't that hard to catch are they, or you wouldn't have written a book Neil (JOKE!!!)..........consistancy is key - and to consistantly catch from the venues he has - he's on fire!!!!
DAVE FOR PRESIDENT!!!

I would give it to Dave as well just on the Car Park results alone, knowing what a ball breaker that lake is! John McAllisters (i think that's his name) results from Wraysbury have been quite outstanding as well (two winter forties plus Marys Mate in the summer AND several other fish from there this year!) He's also had the Johnsons leather at over forty pounds (although i think that was last year) and other big fish from Kent this year. He runs a close second i think.

Sorry guys but the sheer hard work involved in tracking down the nene and trent fish then catching them still gets my vote.At least you know the fish are in the carpark and horton.Not many miles away and still going in the other direction.

It's good job it's not us making the desision cos it would end up in a punch up.Good luck to both of them both excellent anglers.
Blooby whats HPDB when it's at home,and I'll be having a word with you about"the fat fella from Sussex" which could be extremely pain full for you.
high profile dave ball.as for the big fella ,he doesn'thave to know does he.p.s. i had a mega headache on monday.must have been that nash bait i was eating!
