If you've read his book then it doesn't hit the same. If you haven't then I can imagine it's much better hearing it. Saying that it's still great and you can't beat a Tel Xmas tale!

It only took him a short while to catch it. So not much of a story to tell. But Tel could make reading the phone book sound captivating...

Tel does tell a great tale and I watch everything he has put out. Certainly better than that dire film that Sticky put out with Helleur.

Quite enjoyed Tels offering after putting it on for a second time. I turned it off after the 1st few minutes 1st time round as thought it was a recent recollection.
Stickies film, good God, Nick said he didn't put content out for the sake of it! If you like the sound of his voice continually its fine, if you like a truthful film of fishing being hard abroad at times, its fine, if you've never done that sort of fishing you can gleem a few tips but otherwise the ffw button is your friend.
I watched the 1st 10 mins then with ffw I think I watched more youtube adverts than film

Halfway through the film and I thought that there must be a part two coming out at a later time. Then basically the whole film was regurgitated after he moved swims. I suppose the problem in taking a camera man out there and the level of investment is that the film is going to be released however turgid it is. I still watched it but could've done without the tales of what hard work it is, etc..

Totally agree - repetitive waffle being possibly the most irritating; presumably due to lack of content . . .amazed this wasn't edited out but then I suppose you'd be left with a tic-toc length film . . .

I thought it was extremely disappointing. Definitely not his best film.

They are all victims of the format. Hearn is becoming way too cheezy, didn't even bother, and no, i don't know what you mean. Helleur, normally i kinda like him, but what the hell was this? Booking a swim on lac du durrrrrr, idk, 10 mins and i was gone.
Thoroughly enjoyed jim lightfoot again. Shaz was a staaaaar again, setting up the tent, pumping up the boat, running around with her kettlebell, absolute staaaarrr. Also a shoot out to a dutch vlogger, ferenc fishing. He was out on some dutch inland sea, and yeah it was cold, nothing happening, **** it, i'm staying in my bivvy, what am i doing here etc. I mean, those guys don't feel the need to pretend it's all so special, being a carp angling star and all that, just showing what they are doing. And having said that, hearn and helleur aren't the worst by far, they seem to love their fishing intrinsically, but yeah, the format, if you know what i mean:P

I found the Hearn one like a Paul Whitehouse fast show sketch.
Good old days weren't they - 11lbers mm love them don't we? Big then, still now, winters morning, frost, mist, dog walkers, kids having fun, garden canes, more about that later, called Timmy, back of an old motorcycle, film in the camera, hot soup, parkies, particles, free running deer, good old days, Mrs Jenkins purse, I send her Christmas cards, popped in the sack, found some fresh mint in the hedgerow -happy days, now for some dandelion gin and a home made scone- until next time...
In a world of content, this film made me long for the old days of books and articles-

Haha what a great post. I totally agree.....but I still enjoyed the video.
Nostalgia's not what it used to be.

I think Jim has the best content out there, always smiling, always makes me laugh and conveys a joy of fishing that many don't... no ramming it down your throat about how hard it all is or how 'you have to make it happen'... Proper fishing, engaging guy and no marketing.

Didn't bother with the TH film. I've read the book and still have the earlier edition of BC when he writes an article about it. Summer in the City i think I called.
Sticky one is poor too. I usually like the Helleur films but why make a video about blanking???
Has the content bubble burst for the main tackle guys these days...?
Will check out the latest Samir one to see what that's like
I subscribed to the Carp Angle one for a while until I realised you couldnt go back and watch some of your earlier subscription episodes on a standard membership. Soon cancelled it after working that one out.

I really enjoyed latest TH video - Short and sweet, subtle and slow paced.
It was indeed a reminder that a lot of about fishing 30 years ago was a better time than today and his recollection of his captures is second to none.
Its not the most dynamic content, but his slower paced story telling, his embracement of his own quirkiness, commitment, old school vibe and authenticity is all the better for it! ... Good for him
.
nb - However he lives his life is working for him .... He looks very well and chilled as a result!
