He’s the 2010 Drennan Specimen Cup winner, and has a seriously impressive string of very big fish of all species to his name.

Name: Chris Ponsford Background: Chris Ponsford is one of coarse fishing’s biggest personalities. He always fishes with a spring in his step and loves targeting all manner of different species. Considered a real river fishing expert, Chris is also an accomplished angling guide. Top Tip: Chris firmly believes that researching a venue is of utmost importance before you go fishing. Try and find out where the hot swims are, and ask loads of questions about which baits are most effective. That way, you’ll know exactly how to target the water to catch plenty of good fish.
