It wasn't him that released the clip though, and I think Bowler will find it very difficult to even have a case

"This person released this clip and I want compo"
"And?"
"Well, its claiming to be me saying that I want to rehook a Barbel"
".......But it is you though?"
"Prove it"
"Prove it isn't?"

Unless Bowler can get an admission that its Iranian level AI trickery then he's going to get nowhere. The fact you can hear the other angler, identify him rather easily, and theres evidence that its a Drennan video?

Good luck.

Is that like all the legal action threatened about the hormones?

I may be missing the point but

I can't see anywhere where bowler says to the captor you should rehook the barbel
I hear
You want to Rehook the barbel as in a question and he sounds iffy about doing that
Surely it's the captor who's in the wrong who wants it videoed

I dont think any of these so called famous anglers have reputations just fronts, occasionally those fronts drop unintentionally when they have money on their minds.


Except Tel of course.

This kind of behaviour has been going on for years. I know one that paid locals to have photos taken with their catfish on the ebro and claim them as his captures. Several images of other people's captures ended up in his book. It's nothing new.

Hard to see how this isn't true.

Personally I've always respected Martin Bowler and thought him one of the 'real' ones.

That's his reputation in the bin though if it is true.

Who's the person asking him?

On reflection hoping it's a malicious attack using AI to copy his voice? With all his videos on youtube it would be possible for someone to do if they really wanted to.

But why would they, what's the point of targeting a middle aged fisherman....

He implies that his new fish tv thing has been trolled and attacked by others - hence this video being 'created'

IF that's true then what a sad life some people lead to stoop to such things, you would think they would have better things to do with their time, like go fishing!!

There will always be those that are jealous I suppose and there always have been those that are stroke pullers.

Hope this is not true, sad state of affairs if it is.

Having a picture with someone elses capture and rehooking a netted fish to get footage for the camera are very different things, the latter being infinitely worse and completely inexcusable.

He was certainly up there with the best modern day all rounders for me, before this emerged. What a shame.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
