What the expert says..
Jamie Hughes expected to be main contender for Jones this year
Jamie Hughes is the record holder for most Fish'O'Mania wins with his 2017 victory the third time he won the event after winning back in 2013 and 2015 too.
Hughes has shown his experience on multiple occasions and he's expected to do so this weekend after putting in a stunning performance in the Moorlands Farm qualifier this week.
The angler had a total weight of 282lbs caught and won his qualifier by a margin of 176lbs which was a stunning performance and that will be part of the reason why he's second favourite for this weekend's showpiece event.
