KEVIN HANDLEY has won the Piriou Family open winter bass festival organised by the Bailiwick Bass Club.

His winning fish weighed 9-1-4 and gave him the top prize of £400 tackle vouchers.

The event was a re-run of the original festival held back in February when no bass were caught.

Catches were marginally better on this occasion, when four were landed. Second was Lynton Carre with a 7-6-7 fish which gave him £200 of tackle vouchers.

Handley would have been third with his 4-14-4 specimen, but he graciously didn’t accept the prize, which went to Mark Fletcher. He won £100 of tackle vouchers for his 4-12-1 specimen.
