When Jamie Dent drew the noted peg 16 on Twin Oaks on the final day of last week’s Dynamite Baits festival at White Acres, many people predicted it was a ticket to victory. So it proved – the Teesside ace bagged 170lb of carp, which built on his good results for the rest of the week to give him a perfect 36 point score – and victory in the 180 angler event.
Unbelievably, the next day saw the MAP backed rod draw the very same peg in the qualifier for the £50,000 Maver Match This final. Not only did the England Youth International romp to victory again, but he did so with the same weight of 170lb!
He commented: “I am over the moon to have won the Dynamite festival, and to qualify for the Maver Match This Final the following day is a dream come true. I was in the final last year – and it is a great event to fish. I just hope my good luck holds out for this week’s Milo Festival!”
