LIKE father... like son. Copmanthorpe rod Ron Coulson landed a 22lb pike at Stamford Bridge.
Fishing under the bridge, with the river up 2 feet, Ron, who has been a keen angler since the War, landed his specimen using a sliding float with paternostered live bait.
Not to be outdone, his son, Ben, fishing a few feet further along the bank opposite the Corn Mill outlet, hauled out a 20lb pike about two hours later.
Ben, 26, a former England under-18 international from York, used float fished live bait to capture his pike.
