Article: Gary plunders winning catch.

A NEW leader in Whitby's spring angling festival is set to take the [pounds sterling]1,000 jackpot after sneaking into the lead on Sunday - the penultimate day of the competition.

Gary Richards of Barnsley reeled in a 8lb 8oz pollock from the boat Two Dogs, which came in ahead of the previous leader Kevin Anderson's 7lb ling which was caught earlier in the festival.

And with the final day on Monday cancelled due to adverse conditions at sea, Mr Richards will walk away with the top prize.
