CATFISH ace Dean Aldridge kick started his season with a bang with two huge catfish – but forgot his large scales.
Bromley, South East London-based Dean said: “It was my first session back after a winter away from the cats.
“Two cracking looking cats from a Kent lake couldn’t resist Big Cat UK Stinky Pellets fished on a block rig with a 24 mm pop-up.
“But I couldn’t weigh them as I still had my carp scales in the bag so there wasn’t even any point trying.”
