Yes I really liked it...all that effort for the sake of a poor mic voiceover doesn't make sense to me though.

I watched this over the last couple of evenings and really enjoyed it.
Personally I feel the whole 'Rod Race' thing a bit lame and unnecessary, I'd just enjoy seeing the pair of them fishing and catching whatever, but it doesn't spoil it for me.
Hopefully they'll get enough support for them to continue to produce content going forward.

This was my take away. I really enjoyed it, but I can't understand why they need such an enormous production team? It seems like they spent a fortune filming this, but skimped on audio gear and cheap sounding stock music. I can't see them being able to get a return on their investment, which is a shame as I'd like to see more of them.

I've been watching these (just done episode 5), and I'm enjoying them for what they are, a nice relaxed bit of angling between two great mates, for what appears to be a completely ridiculous reason (just like the originals!)
And I guess there is a bit of the rose tinted specs as well ; I remember the early series when they came out, and Matt in the Fox videos with Max Cottis in the 90's, and his first book 'Coarse Fishing' (which I really rate), not to mention Mick being a top predator angler in his prime. Hope they do a few more, if not, a nice way to bow out.......

I enjoyed them but as others said the production is a bit naff. Eposide 1 got 100k views (so far), episode 2 around half that.... subsequent episodes are at about 30k. not brilliant.
I've been watching them, kind of chilled out watching - not as serious as the ones in the past.
Looking forward to the last episode with John Locker, think Matt and Mick will be learning a lot off John

I saw a post by Matt saying he's doing another series this year more like the total fishing series rather than rod race as well.
I've enjoyed this series tbh even if the fishing hasn't been that great and the challenge seems very easy lol.

Matt does come across a bit like a grumpy old man sometimes ..... but I absolute do agree with his opinion on distance sticks - "a relatively easy job made more difficult"
