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.
Certainly would be an odd thing to fake. To a non angler, or pretty much anybody outside the British angling scene, I doubt they would see the issue with doing this. I doubt many TV execs would see the issue with this as "what's the difference between this and what you do anyway"
Wow - it's either a fake or bloody risky strategy going for the not me.
We are part of a massive pastime/sport yet time after time we have no media, governance or pressure applied to find the truth. There are tens of thousands of £ being made and most other walks of life this kind of stuff would be looked into.
We've had
Cheating in the competition by retaining fish and weighing in twice
The hormone scandal
The magic twig
Now this
As far as I know none of the above has been met with any kind of apology - just a NO NO NO - prove it. One day we will get caught out - and we will all kop it. If we can't, or don't regulate from within, any one of the above could get column inches and overnight we will be the fox hunters of yesteryear.
That's why threads like this are important- to get everyone to understand thier own moral compass. If this wasn't a true video - I would be shouting from the rooftops and make sure that the truth outs - I hope this is his sole focus and he concentrates all his efforts to expose the scam.

Regulation?

Well I'm not in the slightest bit surprised, if true or if faked.
I've heard 'rumours' of similar incidents several times over the years.
If it's faked I'm not surprised because there are plenty of jealous, malicious people about, who will put effort into trying to ruin things for others.

+1. Time in memorial.
In the old days it was word of mouth and mostly to those 'in the know', now with social media a frenzy can be whipped up in a day, true or not, detestable!

Wait until the next General Election is called. Social media manipulation will be unbelievable.

It is hard to draw any conclusions from such a short piece of film. Whilst I agree that this does appear damning, imagine if the cameras were on you in your workplace. I bet we've all done or said the odd thing that we're not proud of at work. and let's make it clear, this is not Fishing, this is work to these guys. Not my world, but it is theirs.
Very clearly this has been done to sabotage his new venture.
