Ossie n Arch 1,682 Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Ivan Marks. Where do you start ?? If you talk about match fishing, you can not do it without mentioning Ivan Marks. I my era he was simply the greatest, The peoples champion for sure. Not one of todays one venue experts, he went to venues all across Britian, and mostly won there as well. He won the Great Ouse championship 3 times in 4 years in the days when 600 anglers fished the match. Lots of other big matches too. Never won the World champs though, second was his best effort. When he died, his funeral was moved to Leicester Cathederal because of so many people wanting to go. Iv'e sat behind him times when he was fishing the Soar and spoke to him not long before he died (He'd had an Heart transplant years previously) To anyone my age who was into match fishing, he was a true legend. Sorry to highjack the thread Kev. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NEWKID 26,094 Posted September 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 No problem Arch, I like it, Ivan Marks was a touch before my time, but I obviously have heard all about him.. I've been lucky to watch a few top lads, but would have loved to have seen him fish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
