Great video. What bait was that on the hooks?

That was awesome.I’m so glad he dedicated that 10lb eel to the late great John Sidley ….. a fitting gesture to the father of all serious eel anglers…

I met Steve Richardson on the Fens in 1995, what a cracking bloke. :thumbs:

I never had the pleasure as I didn't attend the annual fish-in's that they had around the country. :thumbs:

Unable to fish because of the impending birth of my first Daughter, I visited a ZAC fish-in during an afternoon out on my motorbike (KR1). The weather turned really cold and as I turned up, I must have looked half frozen to death. Steve very kindly gave me a seat in his bivvy and a big mug of roasting hot Tea. I've never forgotten his kindness that day. :thumbs:
