Going to reading to see him this weekend do a talk at the 2019 sportfish show.

Ask him when he,s going to release the film he made in a fish tank in a the koi shop,  I could tell loads but we have a mutual friend and it wouldn’t be fair, he,s a shite angler that attempts to turn every situation into life or death, did you ever see him in New Zealand dressed in a suit of armour covered in fish guts trying to portray those giant eels as rabid man eaters, I take my hat off to anyone that can make a fortune from total bullshit but that’s basically him ??

Not just a living mate he was worth over 5mil a few years back, the whole point is he is not a fisherman  he,s a tv presenter who travels the world making up bullshit and making the locals look like c**ts, just watching him holding a fishing rod casting and playing fish should tell you he only just has a basic concept of fishing, the locals take him to the spots bait his hooks even cast for him and he attempts to look good landing them, the arrapima program he made he ended up catching it in a small holding pond, and I once saw him so ridiculed over it he got up and left as soon as the lights dimmed,  when he was at someone else’s talk show, as I said before FairPlay to anyone who can make a mint out of bullshit, but if you want to learn to fish mac I,ll get my son to take you  he,s the bollacks ?? ????

You look the part,great pic,what distances?Any pics of the terrain?

450m with 300wsm. 

The country is body destroying. The west coast mission was knocked on the head so no helo in and out, we hit the east coast and we packed in and out after about 2 hours of legit mad off-roading to the head of the valley. Climbed up to where the tahr live and camped with them.

My only bucket list trip is, and has been for a ling time, Canadian sturgeon. 

Problem is justifying a 3k trip for myself when I have a wife , 2 kids and a house to do up and all the rest of the normal stuff everyone has!

It's a lot of money for a fishing trip
