Defending Champion Harry Bignell is 16/1 to win this year's Fish'O'Mania
Fish'O'Mania takes place this Saturday, 23rd July and defending champion Harry Bignell is 16/1 to win this year's edition of the fishing competition.
Bignell doesn't feature in the top 6 contenders in the market despite winning last year by the biggest winning margin in the competition’s history.

Andy Bennett has a favourable peg draw according to fishing experts so that may be why he's a clear favourite for the tournament.
Former Champion Andy Bennett is the favourite for the competition at 11/4
Andy Bennett is a former back-to-back champion of Fish'O'Mania, winning it in 2019 and 2020.
Bennett was the favourite for last year's competition at 2/1 with bookies expecting him to win, but he ended up finishing in 10th place.
The Manchester angler will be looking to get back to winning ways this year and according to the betting odds he has a 26% chance of winning.
It may well be that come Saturday Bennett will be even lower odds to win the event, edging closer to the 2/1 he was at last year.
