Paul Bick is the 2016 RiverFest champion after weighing in over 50lb in the two day event on the River Wye.
In what what was a tough final for many in cold conditions, Paul had the match sewn up after the first day after weighing in 46-4-0 of barbel and chub from the bottom but one peg on the tennis court.
Paul’s 55-2-0 two-day tally saw him as the only angler to top the 50lb mark, with Paul Downes keeping him honest with a 44-15-0, just ahead of Nick West on 42-2-0.
