EARLESTOWN angler Gary Whalley is out to net the biggest prize of his life. He's off to Denmark next week to compete in the final of the Embassy Challenge - the world's leading pairs event. Gary, aged 33, from Market Street, is teaming up with Jimmy HInes, from Wigan, in a bid to land the £6,000 first prize. And there's an extra £17,000 bonus if anyone lands the new venue record for the competition. Gary's biggest match return is 59.05kg.
