Winners simply now supply The Print Biz with a photo as digital image and address….. and The Print Biz do the rest.

Duncan gets his name etched in history on the Mail’s famous silver bowl trophy alongside some of the biggest names to have graced the carp fishing world.

Duncan’s fine run of 30s topped by a stunning 46 lb common carp from the Carp Society’s Farriers Lake, Gloucestershire, caught the judges’ eyes especially as he juggles carping with work commitments and six-year-old twins. A worthy winner – and cover star of the Angler’s Mail issue (right).
