Midlothian-based Mike Kyle won the Iain Reid Memorial sea fishing match over two days at Kirkcaldy and Leven beaches in Fife.
Kyle, a Scottish international, landed 20 fish, 11 on the second day measuring 266cm, to add to the nine he hooked on day one at Kirkcaldy for 227cm. He took home £360.
Second was Neil Cutler from Tyneside who totalled four fish on day one for 101cm and 12 at Leven for 321cm and won £250.
And third was Stuart Cresswell from Ayr with ten fish, seven coming on the second day for 215cm to add to his three on day one which totalled 107cm. He pocketed £150.
Kirkcaldy resident Les Carrington hooked into the longest flatfish over the two days, a 40cm flounder which arrived early on Day One on an end peg just down from the car park, and he won £100.
Lots of flounders were caught at Leven on Day 2, with dabs, coley and bass also carded and anglers did not have to cast far to find fish but peg draw turned out to be key.
