If it was Tel, we wouldn't be complaining about the video length because of the way the story would have been told.

Scott clearly isn't a lot of guys cup of tea but I doubt he cares, one of the most gifted anglers in the land with a photo album that not many can hold a candle to topped by the Burghfield Common.

I quite like his content

Yeah he was full time on track until the food business took off. Had the burghfield common whilst also working full time.

I watched it and liked it, guy showed what was required to go after the proper special ones in terms of mindset. And also how it helped him personally get out a hole mental health wise.

Fair do not everyone can tell the story like Mr Hern but it makes catching that fish and the Common no less of a achievement.

Normal bloke gets asked by his bait company to tell a story of one of his captures. He does that, then gets pulled to bits a bit online, because of how he speaks.

He grew up in Manchester I think, grew up in a completely different world from some of you making these comments about his vocabulary I'd bet. I am sure he could easily come on here, and talk down to some of you in angling terms, but he does not.

I have some 2023 news for some of you too. The media is not even targeted at you, it's targeted at younger lads, without kids and a missus. Younger lads with a much higher disposable income than a lot of you have. He speaks how a lot of the younger generation speak. They will relate to him, even if you can't.

The internet has a lot to answer for. More and more of the younger generation have mental health issues. This thread is a pretty good example of why. If you were reading all of this about yourself, how would it make you feel? Probably like a bag of **** at a guess.

I also don't get the negativity here. It was an excellent film, by far the best he has done, on a super difficult water, with a fabulous end result.
Tel fished there BTW. Didn't catch it.
Well done, Scott.

Sad state of affairs when you cannot just merit the captures on a free bit of content and leave it there if its not for you fine, trouble with some people is they tend to show their true colors by the comments they make and green is all around us as anglers in many shapes and forms.

I thought overall it was a very interesting film and a well told story, I actually managed to watch it in full from start to finish in one sitting which is unusual for me as I usually lose interest in them. Other then TH films obviously, he is god.

I thought I put a lot of effort into my fishing but this guy is next level, fair play to him.

Well that truly is some effort he put in whilst running a business, fair play.
With regards the negative comments some of us have made; surely we're all entitled to air our personal views? I don't think anyone is doubting his angling abilities or saying that he's anything other than a thoroughly nice guy, he's just not to everyone's viewing taste.

Of course you are entitled to air your personal views Andy. I did not single anyone out, I was just explaining the consequences of the internet that seems to be lost on some of you. None of you said anything to savage. But once it becomes 6 or 7 people, making comments about things personal to the young bloke.... That starts to become something else. Then the comments move towards "for a 'certain type' of people". You are not stupid, that's not nice when you add them all together.

If you did not get what I originally posted, think about in a different way Andy, and make it about you.

Let's say YOU made a video for your work. Let's say things personal to your life, slipped into the video. Maybe about yourself, or even your family, your wife or your son/daughter. Let's then say that quite a few people from the internet and your work community... Started making comments, based on their need to air their 'personal views' about how you/they sounded.... Or maybe looked. People started sniggering.

How would that make you feel Andy?

I was born in Lambeth, under the sound of the bow bells. It says on my birth certificate that I am a true cockney. I can put on a posh voice when needed, I worked at the Ritz casino among other similar places. I sound absolutely terrible though normally speaking, when relaxed, and I swear far to much. You are from Essex I am guessing Andy. To Northerners we sound like Del Boy. I know this, as I get told it on a daily basis on the phone by Northerners. None of us can change where we were born, who our parents were, what we look or sound like. None of us are able to control what education we receive, as we are kids when that happens... It's all luck.

That does not define the person. Kids nowadays, use the word 'sick' a lot.

Spot on again. Scott comes across so well imo because he is not some media trained, restrained puppet. He is himself. Doesn't big himself up, very honest and a genuinely interesting character. What is there not to like!
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
