Re: Bowlergate!!!!
Back in the 80s early 90s I belonged to a carp syndicate and I turned up to fish only to find a film crew there, most of the members were contacted to stay away for the day or two but I didn’t get the message. While I waited for them to finish the end monologue I got chatting to one of the film crew who obviously was not a angler and he innocently told me the fish featured a mid 20 fully scaled was caught in a snag tree ( out of bounds) moved and re hooked for videotaping, the angler in question was probably the most famous angler in the country then . I had mixed feelings about it but a little disappointed they did it so I’m guessing it goes on all the time.
It’s quite sad someone has leaked footage to cause damage to his reputation and embarrassment
The other side would I like it if someone did this with a 35lb pike on Chew , absolutely not .

Re: Bowlergate!!!!
Film content and editing purposes, the only surprise is that people are 'surprised'. Where there is a commercial interest or possibly an 'Ego' at heart there will always be elements of manipulating of content, wasn't there a whistle blow at the BBC for the Attenborough 'Wild Planet' in reference to things not always as it seems.
If MB did or didn't .. it won't be a crime of the century, we all put hooks into them after all, I'm more concerned over the muppet show which runs this country!

It's been going on for years. Other things too. Anything to get the shots and the £s.

Surprised SG haven't remarketed a take on Jesus catching 2 small fish on a 'line through Roach' to go along with the 5 Loaves. (Now there's a marketing option)

Introduce money for performance & morals go out of the window.
'Sorry readers/viewers, I blanked again so I've nothing to show you this week' isn't going to do much for the reading/viewing figures of the media medium that's paying you.
And your employability.

Over in the states influencers change shirts over and over with Steelhead, Bull Trout etc between photos.
Modern day angling demands success and super sexy up close videos. The real world of blanks, tangles, falling in or on your a**e does not cut the mustard. Instant gratification is all important.

Re: Bowlergate!!!!
Now that I have seen it, its obvious that was not the 1st time they have done it and I can t tell who the angler is but I take it that it is Bowler.
Will Drennan keep him on?
The fact is that its part of the worst things about modern angling and how very fecking sad of him!
Being a good angler is more than just about what you catch, in a way its a lifestyle or even a code, anyone who re hooks a fish for the camera so as to play the fish back in is not an angler let alone a good one!
Cheers, Alan
