ALAN STAGG

I have been fishing since my early teenage years.  Starting out catching anything that swims but my obsession soon grew and my love of pursuing big fish started.  My first attempt at the age of 13 produced a barbel weighing 13lb from the River Kennet in Berkshire.  From that point my desire has grown year on year in a bid to catch the biggest fish of different species I can.

I have been lucky enough to catch a wide range of specimen coarse fish.  This includes 18lbs 6oz barbel, 8lb 5oz chub (four other 7lb plus fish), 4lbs 2oz crucian carp, 41lbs 2oz mirror carp, 39lbs 12oz common carp, roach 3lbs 8oz (nine weighing over 3lbs), rudd 2lbs 13oz (2lb fish 60+), perch 5lbs 4oz, pike 22lbs 8oz, 11lbs 4oz zander, catfish 45lbs 12oz, 10lbs 1oz tench and 16lbs 7oz bream to name just a few of my most memorable catches.

Much of my time is spent on low stock big fish waters pursuing outsized fish.  I love the build up to each and every capture and have a burning desire to improve each year.  Coming runner up in the prestigious Drennan Cup in 2010-2011 is certainly a highlight, I have been lucky enough to be voted in the top four three out of the last four years.  I have also contributed a chapter in the first book ‘Crock of Gold’ dedicated to the most precious of coarse fish the crucian carp.
