I started watching it with the presumption i would last 10 minutes and turn the bellend off. That didn't happen. Aside from the bravado and stab yer granny music i enjoyed the story and to be honest i think he caught it fair and square.

Not sure why he feels the need to publicise all of his fishing exploits and subsequent drama on the tube but thats another question.

Terry Hearn he aint, still clearly a very capable angler.

"I tend to disagree with that. You never hear much about Terry Hearn or Dave Lane, prefect role models for the pastime for me"

Me too.

But there were the morons who knocked it because they used bait boats. Someone catches carp, a load of people take the moral high ground, this is no different.

Just watched the YouTube video. Kinda confused here. So he does really well. Practically rinses the lake. Let's other anglers including Lewis Read, etc know what he is doing, With Lewis fishing the Blocks swim so Greg knows it's safe to fish the Island. Catches the BC, everyone congratulates him, them once dust has settled rips him to shreds.

If he was fishing the OOB area I think the blokes would of said earlier...🤔 So he unofficially allowed to fish it or he was breaking the rules which makes other members liable as they knew as well. The island swim looks well established.

Bait boats diminish the credibility of a capture in my view. Doesn't matter who is at the controls.

Dave Lane may be a great angler and a top bloke but he's also been a major stroke puller in his time. The sort of strokes that p*ss other people on the same water right off.

Seems like he goes out of his way to cause controversy to me , attention seeking , why not just let the rods do the talking without all the hype like our finest anglers in the country do ? He obviously likes the attention , Bit of a 🔔 end if you ask me

I was thinking the very same, don't think he made many friends on the island this year. But he caught the big one and will no doubt move on next year.

So using a baiting pole deminishes a capture in your eyes.
