So you've not tried the 'elite' kettle pouring skill either
TBF, I did enjoy the early Fox 'The Challenge' vids, some really good humour in there, not to mention the tea and biscuit ratings..reminded me of the old Total Fishing ones, the one with Gord the piking pirate...I wonder how many takes that took

He's not quite as obnoxious as Hamidi. However I still can't watch his vids. He always seems a bit too smug for my liking. The faults probably mine not his.

Bit harsh I can't take the ego bit seriously as it's done so bady, worse than a politician, you can here the cogs turning in the pauses, that's why I find him quite humorous. I can imagine a convo with him is a lot of fun

Gambling is a bigger industry than angling, and he's realised that.
I've blocked most of them from Facebook. First they were raffling camo Pods, next it will be camo Porsches.

I also quite like Pitchers, although I could see how he could annoy people. The old chllenge series were hilarious.

To be fair he has successfully used his high profile to create a lucrative business.
Looks very high profit margins for all the prizes so its good money for very little operating costs.
Such as simple business model that anyone could do.
I can see the big fishing shops like TFT and Angling Direct starting a competition sites as well as they already set ready to go.

Hi, can anyone tell me please how I can contact Mark pitchers. I'm looking to book a 24 hour tutorial for my son.
I have looked on the website and emailed and left a message a couple of weeks ago but I have had no response.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank in advance.

Does he even still do tutorials?? Where abouts did you contact him?
I know he's heavily involved with Capital carp competions. Might be worth contacting him on there.

"To be fair he has successfully used his high profile to create a lucrative business"
It's all a bit sad really. The magic of when I was mooching about Darenth or the local pond as a seven year old trying to catch six pounders on maggots has now been replaced by this, being surrounded by blokes who strive for a bait deal or some sort out clout within a tiny community who in essence, are complete strangers to the outside world.
I feel sad that kids aren't surrounded by that magic anymore, but I try to emulate it as much as possible for my boy. Quiet ponds, small fish, roach whips and no chaps covered in sponsorships like a race car driver. They even announce it like it's their ****ing pronouns.
Bitter? Probably. In denial? definitely not. Others are though, as they bemoan so many aspects of what was better in their lives 30 years ago yet don't want to admit that their quiet little past time has turned into a circus polluted by modern behaviours in society.
Grown men idolising salesmen and throwing money at them to show them what their own eyes can see.
"There's a patch of bubbles over there, that'll be £300 please"
I have it in my own family. It's sad watching a 60 year old man throw hundreds of pounds at these companies, chopping and changing every week because an underwater video tells him that after 30 years, he now needs a blob of tungsten on his hook to catch a fish...
