I know most if not all will have seen it, but on the off chance that someone hasn't, A Passion For Angling - Redmire Legends has been released by ESP on their YouTube channel. Enjoy.

Thinks it's on the Drennan YouTube rather than ESP.
Did put me off seeing all the fish spawning and the just ploughing on with their fishing. Times change I suppose.

Bob James never let the small matter of spawning or a closed season put him off

Redmire never had a closed season, just a few months set aside for hypocrites and those that thought they were better than everyone else.

I would assume he is referring to the Bob James on the River Wye incident?

Yeh it really needed a time-lapse sequence to drum and base and the money shot with 3 slings in the morning

Thirty years on and still the benchmark, catching the impossible was great but didn't quite have the magic for me. Nothing else has come close in my eyes

Absolutely true and that's probably because Hugh Miles is a professional wildlife film maker and not just some herbert who bought a DSLR and learned to do close-ups and slow-mo shots

Passion took over three years to film and apparently was done with a single camera - which makes you wonder about the re-takes and acting involved in the 'tree incident'.
Interesting to see the ringing on Black Bob's rod, I doubt the butt ring would make 30mm yet alone these 50mm jobs that look like the entrance to the channel tunnel. His rods also had plenty of intermediates, much like a barbel rod - when did that all change?
It is nice to see a gentle "Hooray" and a firm handshake as opposed the "Get in", "Mega" and all that obllocks.

been watching Catching the Impossible over the past week.
some amazing fish caught and on some very simple tactics / rigs / gear. goes to show eh?
the episode (episode 8) where he takes a 10lb+ tench, a 5lb+ Perch and a 30lb+ Pike is a great watch!
