All those pics back in the day - never did any of those carp any harm 🤷🏻♀️
It's great that carp care has come on leaps and bounds, but we used to put fish down on a bit of grass (if they were lucky!) and they did ok. Carp are a very hardy species.....

You are quite right. I have seen others copy this and cringe.
Unless it's an exceptionally deep and soft mat, and the carp isn't excessively gutty, then it really shouldn't be done.
There is no need for it, and only serves the purpose of adding some "drama" to his films!

No one else share the same concerns that I do regarding pressure on internal organs when he balances that fish on its belly on the mat? Or do people feel Mr Hearn is unchallengeable?

I like the fact he doesn't release films every other week,one thing I think sets him apart is he seems to be tuned in to all things nature and his surroundings.
I wouldn't mind his photo album

I'm pleased to hear that he still uses sacks and mats.
Some people would make you believe that if you don't use retaining slings and cradles that you are irresponsible.

He uses a flat mat that looks like he's owned it since the war.

I've not seen the film, does he use a cradle?

Sacks are better for the fish if used correctly. Fish can find their own level, rather than bobbing around on the surface.

thats what separates Terry from the rest of us he always got his target fish and rest of well ..we carried on dreaming about catching them
Exactly that, time is the biggest asset in carp fishing but you still have to catch them, and he does consistently, the majority do not and that is the difference

Fantastic film but one that again leaves you scratching your head wondering how he does it 
Found a swim that looked good on Google maps, plotted up in that swim, Swan off to take some photos of butterflies and finches, flick the clipped up rods out just before dark, somehow present bottom baits amongst drifting bits of weed, catch a few in the morning. Simple as that
