I've just sat through it, agree he looks bloody stupid, the body cam stuff has never worked in what ever medium it's been used in, same with the tiny planet GoPro scenes. As for the titles and music, like a kid who's making a first video in Vegas Pro!!! The bank stuff and talking to the camera is fine, he is at least enthusiastic but once you've seen a 60lb common the rest just fade in to oblivion. Would love to tackle the place but I certainly wouldn't expect anyone to want to watch it.
Kev Ellis' films work, because of his character and the other people on the lake, not just the catching.. but that's the way modern carping as gone unfortunately

I agree, why be so judgemental about somebody's looks or voice, I'm afraid that really does get my back up.

I prefer watching him wind up Simmo
I liked the video... his editing was great and some really good camera shots etc. Cant knock the fish he caught as well and seeing as he does it all himself I applaud him. Although I did turn it off at first as I thought I had seen it already (it was his second video in 17 I think)
Met him twice at shows and both times he has come across as a bit of a tawt - wouldn't give the time of day to us normal anglers but if you were with a big tackle company he was up your asre
Did anyone else notice when he had a shower and shave that the beard/ face length tramline was darker then the rest of his hair on his head - I couldn't un see it once I noticed.

Do you reckon he does his own editing? Or just chucks the lot over to someone at fox?

He does his own editing.
Bit harsh to lay into a bloke for how he looks, or being enthusiastic about his fishing. I'm sure he's a decent bloke. If you don't like the look of it you don't have to watch it. At least he's putting content out for people, a lot more constructive than b*tching about someone's facial hair on a forum.

Some people really do need to give their head a wobble.

Not a lot there not to like really.
Fella enjoying his fishing & catching some big fish at an iconic venue.

People slating him due his looks or wont watch it cause of his name? Really?? What is carping coming to when this happens.... some people really need to look in the mirror!!!
Each to their own though I guess.
Personally I thought it was enjoyable couple of hours killed in lockdown. Yeah some bits are a little annoying (heavy breathing for 10mins of a boat battle gets on my tits, and do worry what the Mrs would think if she heard it), but overall I'd say hats off to him. Not easy filming yourself on a 24/48hr session let alone and 2 week trip when, from the sounds of it he had a fair few dramas as well.

He puts out an extremely well edited, exciting film about a water which most of us will only dream of fishing....for free and people criticize him. My mind is still boggled by this.
It's a great watch by the way, I saw it last night.

It's how the world has become unfortunately,not just in carp fishing.Lets judge people by what they wear how they look or how they speak.It normally says more about the individual making the comments,very very sad indeed

The term "carp fishing" is a very wide spectrum and at each end there are extremes from the man who commits to an inland sea for a handful of fish a year to the man who fishes a runs water for 30 fish a day!
Now imagine the man on the inland sea having a couple of results a year and posting those up on the internet to the one fishing a stock pond and sticking 1 a week up, who is the best angler? who has made the commitment and put the effort in
Then include peoples personal preferences, I don't like gob *****s, liars or bull****ters for example, they make my **** itch, some people may like it
And finally, put yourself on a pedestal for the world to see, and if you do, you get all the flack you deserve for me. I would say a lot of it is due to the above reasons
You never here much bad feedback about Terry Hearn, Dave Lane, Kevin Ellis etc. do you. There is a reason
BTW, not watched the video below. I looked in because its a new thread, same old reactions though. and i can understand why.
