Just wondered about other people's thoughts?
Can honestly say, despite all the ‘sicks,' that I'm as exited to watch his stuff as much as a certain Mr Hearn's.
So honest, and inspirational, plus his drive frightening....

Watched a few of them. I take my hat off really, when he's on a mission he is relentless!

Yeah definitely agree too much use of “sic”
But you really have to admire his commitment

Think I picked them up from episode 3, but watched them religiously on from there. In the ranks of younger 'named' anglers, I think is one of very few that holds similar values to the greats of the old days.

I watched every one as soon as they came out. Despite some of the vocabulary grating on my synapses. You have to respect the commitment , and effort he put in. Even if i had the time i would struggle with the energy level. However when i was in my twenties i would have been able. He's a good thinking angler, and i respect him for that. I look forward to his next challenge.

I enjoyed the series of videos but did anyone else find the last two had loads of issues with the video freezing? I tried on multiple devices & all were the same. It was almost unwatchable by the end.

Great angler with masses of energy and drive. I really enjoy watching him. The language that he uses is part of what makes him so entertaining to watch. He's a funny bloke with a fair bit of adhd mixed in for good measure. A great combination that makes him really likeable👌

Can you imagine being his boss

I saw a comment that they reloaded them to YouTube as some rendering issues.
But agree with the other comments, what I like about these videos is it gives a real insight into the effort put in. Not just a shiny video with a big carp a the end.

I really enjoyed these videos. After watching the first, I was always looking forward to the next one. The picture freezing spoiled the last episode slightly, but still the most enjoyable fishing videos I've watched on YouTube, this year.

I almost used the word ‘sick' myself today. Stopped myself just in time.

Great videos - I think his blogs in general are really good, he gives some really good tips on watercraft and also tried to elaborate on they reasoning he makes in his decisions - rather then the standard "i saw one nut out over there so cast one at it"

I had the freezing issues but thought it was my side to be honest.

Yeah I just thought it was my computer too.

Scott is superb at what he does and I really enjoy his Vlogs. Briefly met him last summer and can say he's a top guy to boot.

Jesus, after reading this thread a few days ago I started listening to it on my way to work.... the first 10 min I was like.... what is everyone talking about with him keep saying "Sick"? then all of a sudden he catches one and from then on EVERYTHING is sick this, sick that, this is sick, that is sick every fish is sick.... I almost called him a bloody doctor! great listening but the sick thing really was bugging the **** out of me!

Stick with it!

His drive is so huge that when he catches the special ones, you can see his adrenaline is pumping! You forget how to function normally in that moment. I'll forgive him!

The korda ones have a hole in the end and are flavoured, I seam to remember he said they were unflavoured. Also no hole in end when he showed how he mounts then to my them as close to cray proof as he possibly could

I think he is probably one of the best of the ‘younger' generation. The fish he's caught from multiple venues is unreal. Fair play to him

Just finished the last one.
I hadn't really understood what a fine big carp angler Scott is until I watched this campaign. His drive, technical ability, thought process and how he handled the usual frustrations involved in fishing a big, low stocked, weedy water shone out in these RAW videos.
Was as if we were fishing with him....
Just pleased that TA put them out.
