Pete Jackson was second with his 22lb 13oz net made up of skimmers, roach and chub.

Third-placed Mike Diskin used maggot fished shallow to net 21lb 9oz of skimmers, roach and ide.

His three carp, ide and roach taken on the long pole and meat helped see off second-placed Wally Butler, who also included three carp in his net, and added some skimmers on pellet.

CHRIS Lett took first prize in the Todmorden AS Tuesday match at Croft, with his pole and worm attack tempting 22lb 3oz of carp.
