James said, "I only decided to enter at the last minute, so it was a bit of a surprise, and to think I've now got a place in the March final, I am really pleased.
Shaun, the fishery owner explained, 'we are holding a 'roll up' contest, where entrants to all open matches between now and March all stand a chance of winning a substantial amount of money. It has the makings of an exciting March competition.
Second on Sunday was Rob Bassett with 22lb 8oz, third, Ron Allum 19lb 8oz.
