Not watched it mate. Very rare I watch any. I have seen a few decent ones over the years but as soon as they start giving it the big I am. It's off
It's shame that the capture of such a prestige fish is surrounded by all the bull****. Seriously tarnishes the capture for me and the image of carp fishing, a peaceful pastime. Sad really
The era of when the gob ***** entered carp fishing. I can imagine what it's like
To be fair he seems to be a very successful angler so other than fame and fortune I cannot see a reason why

Fair one Scozza...just made me chuckle listening to it after being at this game like a lot of the guys on here for umpteen years.
Old news now and will soon be replaced with another drum and bass urban angling off the radar classic by a couple of legends that only fish weekends..lol
Be lucky..

Didn't he do a charity thing whereby people bidded for a Burghfield ticket?
Who put the highest bid?

It's taken me about 5 'batches' to get through the whole of it. He is obviously a very talented angler, but why all the bravado....why does he want to create a tense atmosphere at Burghfield as he's done on other lakes? Seems he is similar in many regards to Mr Shelley.
And to say he was ready to 'nut someone' then go...really.....??? I wonder if his sponsors want to be associated with that?
Superb fish, and an excellent angler. But not an excellent person.

Do you know what, fair play to him, he is what he is and he done well.
As a comparable one of my best mates was the fella who had the 83lber from Wingham, the reason he didn't go public or even claim anything is he couldn't be dealing with all the bitching that went with it. Read this thread and it's totally vindicated - the real sad thing in carp fishing is everyone wants to knock you when you do well.

He caught it fairplay to him a 60lb common from the UK big fish circus if that's what floats your boat, sounds like he pulled a few strokes along the way and so long as he's happy with the way he went about, it doesn't bother me in the slightest I'll never fish for it.

I tend to disagree with that. You never hear much about Terry Hearn or Dave Lane, prefect role models for the pastime for me
How you present yourself is EVERYTHING and if you want to put yourself on a pedestal in search of glory from the rest of the carp fishing world, in the limelight (or any world) you deserve all the flack you get for me. Be normal, respect others and don't be a complete and utter knob is my advice, otherwise you get what you get and deservedly so

This is without doubt the greatest moment in carp fishing history ever captured on film
