Club Record Conger – In Testing Conditions

  Combe Martin SAC member Kevin Legge has smashed the clubs conger record with a fine conger scaling 37lb 14oz. The big shore caught eel is a new personal best for Kevin who has landed several eels over thirty pounds fishing North Devon’s remote and craggy shoreline over a fishing journey that has already stretched over four decades. Kevin’s enthusiasm and dedication is recognised by fellow club members.

       The fish was tempted using Channel Squid and landing the eel was very much a team effort with his good friend Damien Close of Weston Outcasts assisting in landing the eel as a big sea surged against the rocks. A cool head and confidence in strong tackle undoubtedly ensured a successful conclusion in testing conditions.
