From catching a first fish, to winning matches...that's what 13-year-old Logan Barningham achieved at the recent Hanworth Country Park Open.

On Canal Lake he put together 109lb 13oz to beat Al Wilson (78lb 11oz) and his own dad John Barningham (73lb 13oz).

It's great to see young anglers doing well and it looks like the future is bright for young Logan.
