MINEHEAD man Roy Akay is pictured above with the stunning 26lb 8oz fully scaled Mirror he caught whilst finishing on the main lake at Anglers Paradise, Halwill Junction, recently. He started fishing around lunch time and didn't catch until 5pm. The fish came in quite easily, but as this particular creature neared the net Roy realised that it was a much bigger fish than others he had caught earlier in the week.
