I know a lad who was fishing the same water as him at the time. He started baiting and fishing some spots he had going. He got so pissed off he threw a load of old fencing into the swim to snag him up. DEFINITELY not the thing to do

TBH It did make me laugh at the time though. What goes around comes around. You just have to deal with it

Total respect for him? No wonder this country is going down the pan if people respect someone that poaches and trespasses and has no respect for anyone but himself.

if you watch his interview on Cypography it' s a shame that Jim seems to either avoid (or not understand) some really good questions that could of made for a great interview, unfortunately he just seems to be constantly on the defensive about everything.

I agree. The questions were great. But he seems to ignore them and talk about whatever he wants lol.

That's his choice. Same as anybody else's

The man has consistently caught all the special ones for years and years and years. That's pretty amazing for me. Some people can talk about it, some people can do it. Carp catcher of the highest level

If I had to behave like him to catch i would quite happily give it all up and try golf instead.

The majority wouldn't trespass and fish a private water then broadcast it and most anglers respected the lock down, if his attitude becomes that of the majority I would give up. How can you respect someone with catch at any cost attitude regardless of what he has caught? Maybe you should book some poaching tuition with him.

Disagree, loads have, and are fishing waters they should not, gone on for years, same as fish pinching and moving

Also. loads seem to be broadcasting nowadays. It seems lo be the done thing to me?

Lots of dickheads on the banks so he could be classed as just another by some. To be fair there are a lot of good guys too, pending where you fish of course

I respect him for what he has caught. Carp fishing is no longer what it once was for me, famous carp anglers of old were famous for guess what, catching carp, THE carp. Again, nowadays it seems to me that it does not matter what you catch as long as you can tell a good story and shout the next man down

Tuition, should be OK, I've fished for long enough, mind you though, would never turn down the opportunity to learn something

If I were to have the money for a tuition session Mr Shelley wouldn't be on my short list of tutors. Maybe Adam Penning or Darrell Peck.

The day I pay for a tuition with a carp angler is the day I should pack in

It's never gonna happen. I was more thinking of the kind of person I could spend a day fishing with.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
