Thought that myself very low key response on here. Not that it really matters to be honest.

The thing with characters like Gregg Ellis is he does like to stick his head above the trench. And some people being like they are see that as a golden opportunity to have a pop.

Where Simon Scott on the other hand is the total opposite. Quitely going about his buisness. If it weren't for his commercial ties I doubt we would of heard about the capture.

As wrong as it may sound. Simon's capture is just another fish on the bank.

Where as Gregg's there was a back story.

Good bloke Simon - honest as they come.

He had a bank to himself along with another but good angling in my book to secure that quiet bit of fishing, before that he was trudging the "other side" for 10 + years in pursuit of that fish. He done the hard graft.

Difference with Scotty he doesn't have to shout above the roof tops for a free tub of pop ups and packet of hooks, unlike others that have caught that fish.

Great bit of angling to a top bloke that had a game plan and stuck to it.

Well done mate...pure quality.

The amount of big fish which he has caught is just ridiculous and he never seems to be the type to brag. We always go on about Old Skool values, well he exhibits them perfectly and fishes for the right reasons. I've never heard a bad word about him....which is unusual!

Its different i think, because having that bank almost to himself isnt pulling a stroke, he has worked hard to work things into his favour.

No-one (well not many) people moaned at Laneys capture when he got permission to open that other swim. And its because of the way they conduct them selves. Absolute class acts working things to their favour.

There are a lot of loud shouting egotistical bleeps in this industry and people will never need much excuse to call them out. Its their own doing.

Fantastic angling by Simon.
