109 anglers took part in this annual event held on Chesil on Sunday 13 April.
The entrants enjoyed glorious weather with many anglers going home with an suntan which made up for the lack of flat fish. Fishing was hard due to the water colour and an influx of spider crabs.
Congratulations go to Adam Cullingford whose three plaice measured in at 99cm and earned him £500 in cash.
