Seeing Ali in these shows is like watching a car crash happen in slow motion. His mental decline is slightly concerning & he could use an intervention IMHO.
I wonder if regular folks think we're all like this?

Yeah great, encouraging more joeys who think my past time should be polluted with all their chavvy bosh & bruv nonsense. Half these divs who turn up on ponds these days sound and look like they have just finished a 2 year stretch on B wing for selling pub grub.
Never watched a single episode, have no intention to neither.

Does anyone know where I can get an Ali Hamidi haircut?
I thought it was bang on trend.

This is true.
They tend to be fishing on a hard gravel bottom or a very clear spot with an in your face popped up hookbait. I get that it's for the camera but it isn't realistic which again means we learn little.

When the Korda underwater videos first started, someone on here said turn off the commentary and make your own mind up on what's going on.
I haven't seen this TV episode and probably won't but it would be interesting to first watch the underwater footage with the sound down and then again with it up, then see if you agree with the so called expert presenter.

Good point.
99.99% of us don't have the luxury of viewing our sessions underwater. As you say we'd just change up until we catch. So in reality, maybe a camera would only have the potential to speed up the process? Unless you're Ali.

Tbh , how much have we learnt from underwater , is it better just knowing you got something right when it blasts off and repeat . Other than the way thing land when cast out iv not changed anything because of them .

Some of these comments are comedy gold.
I didn't see Ali eat any fish s**t so it could be considered as progress?
A few thoughts.
How many days of underwater footage watching carp spook off the hookbait & take the smaller offerings does it take to realise that scaling down & matching might be the way to go?
Why don't they try to camo the cameras? Black stands out like a sore thumb under water. It looked very conspicuous & unnatural.
Why does Ali feel the need to get off with a fish or his fishing partner on every episode?

I was bored last night ended up watching it. Wasnt too bad tbh he kind of mellowed down a bit. Still made sure to get his partners to kiss him strangely. Mad how picky those carp were they knew exactly what bait not to eat

Way too much going on with their rigs and hooks baits,.colour etc . Would have been better just putting some 12mm boilie out and fishing a out the bag bottom bait. Be boring tv I guess. I'll still watch it purely because it's intriguing the carp behaviour. Don't mind Ali at all, he is what he is. No ones perfect and everyone's cup of tea eh

You're not wrong. I bet there are more people who watch it and don't comment 
Edit, There's a new Trakker one on YouTube too, started a week or so ago, Dover v Spooner ...bit more gentile.

Pretty obvious how this thread was going to go
Watch it, don't watch it, Ali won't care.
I won't be watching it.

I didn't really enjoy the 1st programme tbh, how they could draw any conclusions from that, I have no idea. I hope the next ones a bit better !

Like a bunch of old women. Stop whining and go fishing.

Ali is everything that's wrong with carp fishing

Wait! What?
The guy off tipping point fishes - who knew.
I subscribe to his only fans site, but not overly interested in his serious side….

No, I'd have a box full. I get loads of cats crapping in my garden. I think a long string of Ali's DVDs might deter them 😂

Not the place to offer a signed copy of the latest dvd then!

It's so heartwarming to see that Ali is extending his fan base. I don't think that I've ever insulted anybody on a public platform. But this guy is One Major C*** !

Don’t get how he seemed fairly normal in Monster carp to a total bell end in Grand fishing adventure. Tried to watch last series fell asleep during first 2 episodes gave up after that.

I watched it. Think they blanked 4 nights on the trot, even with placing rigs by hand and baiting by diver and camera.
Of course the magic twig / wand / dildo thing had to make an appearance

I watched the first season. Couldnt understand his obsession with constantly wanting to kiss Zamora on the lips. Strange. As others have said if he can tone it down it will still be a fishing programme to watch but man the guy gets on my nerves

Imagine if you were fishing on the same lake as him, you'd have earache for a fortnight.
And I'd also imagine he'll be ramming the ingenious and hugely successful spring loaded self hooking device down our throats.....
Think I'll watch the reruns of Bob and Paul instead.

I just cant watch anything he is in. Im afraid his levels of annoyance far outwiegh his angling feats for me.
