Re: Tel again.
Awesome Video, listened to him talk three times over the years the first time was way back when no one really knew who he was.
I like Carp fishing at times but do not like most Carpers.
But I could listen to Tel all day.
A good all rounder as well.

Re: Tel again.
I watched it and did actually enjoy it, but for the time he put in to catch it I don't think it was a big achievement, just dedication to catching that one fish in a small pond, took eight years and over 60 nights in the first summer alone. Am surprised it took him so long to change to more natural baits, surely a big juicy lobworm would have been a must try early on !

Yes I totally agree Bob, but can you imagine the enjoyment you would get hidden away on a tiny rat infested island for 30 nights on the trot all by yourself catching fcuk all, then going back for more in the pursuit of one fish in a pond that quite a few people have caught already.
