The "Best Sea Fish" Trophy

The Best Sea Fish Trophy was first presented in 1972 and is awarded annually to
the group member who caught the best specimen sea fish that year
(calculated as a percentage of record weight).

In 2009 the trophy was awarded to Pete Britten for the capture of
a 11lb 2oz bass off Bradwell.

Pete Chillingsworth took second prize with a Bass of 11lb 2oz and
Andy Gilling took third place with a tope of 42-08, also both off Bradwell.
