I thought he came across well. Seems like a nice guy.

Same Ian.... I thought he came across as a decent bloke, who at this point in time is fishing a water with some giants in. Its not like he's an instant carper either, having already done well on quite a few other waters (Monks, Bundys, Elstow etc etc).

that's right, call a guy out you don't even know and slag off a venue you have never even fished, sounds just about right for the "kids and modern anglers" eh.... 
I have fished Grenville in the past and believe me, it is far from easy. Yes there may be a huge stock in there, (it's a bit less than 1700) but there are large areas over 40ft deep in the 72 acres, that's a hell of a lot of water for any amount of fish. In addition there is a huge abundance of naturals and the rules mean you can only fish certain methods and baits, (owners prerogative).
It's certainly a marmite water for sure and not everyones cup of tea but respect to those that fish it, you pays your money and makes your choice...
I haven't seen this one yet, I don't want a spoiler but,
Is it got anything about constant drug taking, underage driving, stickers on buckets, blowing one's own trumpet, slagging off committee members or sponsored anglers in it?

Got to be a nightmare even gettin a lead to hit bottom ain't it with all those kippers crammed in? Practically pets with all the bait the geezer is chucking in there. Bet you could hand feed them. Turkey shoots springs to mind.
Like Nick so righly said the other week, it's like going to a whore house to dip your wick which is totally different from getting a leg over from a non whore. Each to their own though. If you wanna pay to nail a brass, go for it...

You missed out making out they like doing their own thing and staying private and away from the scene when really it was because their big ego was hurt from not getting the big fish from certain waters whilst others did.All the while keeping a fish in a sack all night in a river because they were so desperate for the publicity shots in daylight.Disgusting behaviour that would see you banned on some waters

Anybody would think you weren't all fishing for the same species stocked for sport and wasting precious resources from the ocean feeding them. How many fish is it permissible to stock before it's beneath the big dicks, and I don't mean those with large appendages.
Dress it up however you want, those fish are stocked to catch wether there's 1 or 1700 of them.

Grenville... simply put IMHO if you build it, they will come.
Simply a Long term plan/investment by the owner, all to make something that is nice and will bring a decent Financial return.
Big carp = big money nowadays.
Any angler knows that surely !

Nailed it
Grenville may have a lot of fish in it but its a big, deep lake where the rules make catching them difficult
Most people could blag a fish or two but to haul on there, fishing well at mega range with smallish leads and fairly small hooks isnt easy
Its like brasenose 1 at linear with half the fish and 3 times the amount of water and you cant use the most successful method
Quite enjoyed the podcast tbh, he comes across as a decent bloke

Mindblown - refreshingly polite and down to earth lad who clearly loves his fishing makes a podcast whilst remaining modest and understating his own achievements. *rushes to slag him off online.
As for comments on Grenville. “Can't you guys see they deliberately feed those fish to be the biggest in the country and run the lake well so you idiots will pay for the pleasure of angling there”. Sorry... am I missing something?

No-one is slagging him off. That's all in your head.

I suppose that's a matter of interpretation, and I don't suppose you'll be backing down on it, but plenty seem to think you're slagging him off.
It's a shame as the lad just seems to enjoy his angling.
