I suspect that Bob may be a novice angler ... he forgot his reel!! I stopped fishing in the late 1980s so all this pole, wand, whip stuff is new on me (when we were kids every angler used to laugh at ze Froggies with their silly poles and little bobby floats) So my observations about this piece of video are ... it took Bob one hell of a long time to land a three pound bream in a match, and, when he got the fish to the net his rod had gone beyond the vertical, so he had no control over the fish. I know, of course that Bob is a world class angler so I'm not knocking him, just offering what is now a virtual layman's views.
Hi Bob could you do a vid about the responsibilities of us fishermen/women please. I see week after week discarded line & empty tins (sweetcorn,hemp,meat ect). Its a disgrace & there is no excuse for us all not to clean up after ourselves. Plus it gives the sport a bad reputation. I feel that if you & your fellow high profile anglers where to speak out you would have a greater affect then if I (a unknown) where to say something about the subject. If we all do our bit & take the rubbish home or simply put it in a bin (if one is provided) the wildlife we all enjoy watching/catching would appreciate it I'm sure. Thank you.
I've seen many well-known anglers on here regularly tell people to take their litter home in videos, but I feel younger generations (and a few of us older folks too) just don't pay any attention to it. I think it's mostly an attitude problem stemming from poor parenting and a lack of education regarding the Human effects on nature.
Bob the legend and master and a true gent
I fished there in June. I’ve never seen a river so full of roach and perch. I caught 110 in one hour as an experiment. Bob you’re great.
