- We’ve finally managed to pin him down and get him in the podcast studio! This week the podcast welcomes legendary big carp hunter Jim Shelley.
Jim is widely acclaimed as one of the very best big carp anglers in the history of the sport. If any proof was needed as to Jim’s carping pedigree you only have to look at his incredible record including historic captures of some of the very best carp that have ever lived in the UK and his continued relentless hunting of big old English carp. Jims drive, passion and pursuit of carp has often left in his wake a whole host of rumours, incidents and controversy. In this podcast Jim talks through some of his most significant captures and sets the record straight, there’s one thing you find whilst listening to this podcast and that above all else Jim certainly tells it like it is.
Jim starts by talking about his time on the historic Wraysbury of old, imagine one hundred and twenty acres with only seventeen carp. He guides us through his approach which ultimately led to his historic capture of former British record Mary at 52lb 12oz. In this chapter Jim also speaks about the tragic events which saw the death of his close carp fishing friend “Marky Mark” and how this affected him. The party scene and celebrations as well as a few home truths about subsequent captures are also covered.
Collingbrooke in Kent was Jim’s next port of call where he targeted the infamous “Two Tone” mirror which had grown to weights in excess of 60lb. The fishing on there was renowned to be very tricky with a couple of bites a season being really good going. In true Jim style he set about the task going against the grain and reaping some serious rewards.
Jim talks about his time fishing for “unknown” giants on Fen Drayton. Just armed with his knowledge, a boat and an unwavering hunger to capture something rumoured to be very special he developed a plan that would be the downfall of some truly historic and special captures including a 48lb linear!
In his final chapter Jim talks through his capture of arguably the finest carp that has ever swam in our waters “The Black Mirror” from the mere. Fishing a no fishing venue with minimal gear whilst surrounded by a host of carp fishing’s finest anglers targeting the same prize is certainly a daunting prospect and a big ask. Jim as ever managed to live his dreams and cradle The Black Mirror in an incredible carping crescendo. In an added bonus Jim has shared with us exclusive footage of his capture which he hasn't shared before.
Finally, Jim speaks about his mindset, how he has changed as a person and how he has worked on himself over the years allowing him to be better understood and communicate better all in a manner which allows him to help other anglers. Jim talks about learning to read and write only ten years ago and then publishing three separate books, an admirable achievement in its own right.
We know how eagerly anticipated this podcast is and it sure doesn’t disappoint. Enjoy an incredible, historic, funny and frank three-hour dive into the world of “Uncle Jim”

Said it before but Jim is one of the few pro anglers that took the time to message me back when asking for some tips with a hard lake i was fishing.. not many other anglers would take time out to do that..
Same mate says a lot 👍🏼
@@46mower he’s a real one
Same
Best podcast on this channel fullstop. Uncle Jim Shelley is a pure animal when it comes to fishing.. what a bloke
A most incredible piece showing the journey of the proud legacy of an amazing angler. One of the best I have seen to date. Respect & thanks 🙏

Elliot gray was right to pursue Jim and get him to people’s attention. This interview was fantastic as well .
That was the bollocks I don’t think I’ve seen Jim so chilled true legend 👊
Jim is at the pinnacle of british carping a true legend

legend in every sense 👍🏻
Humble Jim. Such a nice human being. Literally made me teary hearing markis stories.. Bless..
Out and out machine! Major respect for the time, effort and skill Jim puts in, a true inspiration to everyone who beats their own drum!! 👍👍👍
Everyone has their opinion and people are always quick to chip in their 2 cents on Jim, and you can say what you want. But there's no denying this man is and always has been a machine and someone we can all learn from. I for one have the utmost respect for him and to go from not being able to read or write well, to publishing a piece of literature like Uncut is a real testament to his sheer grit and determination. Gotta respect that. Yes uncle Jim, keep carving out your path and when you talk I for sure will be one of many listening.
Jim's a boooy, always know his as the carp catching machine that he is, but it's been great to see the real Jim on the podcast, and on Elliots 'hunter' series, keep catching em Jim 👍
Uncle Jim is a true legend
Definitely one of the best podcasts I’ve ever watched 👍

What an angler, just shows... all these top anglers who come on the pod, there 1 thing that they do more above anyone else is put 100% effort into there session, weather that's baiting up, moving swims, walking around the lake countless times. It just shows hard work definitely pays off!

Ok yoda
@@paulnelson7698 yoda you must not know the meaning, as Jim has bin carp fishing before I was walking. So i haven't trained nore have he ever learned anything from me. So keep your comments to yourself 🐑
Thank you jim
What a absolute legend of a man. So much hate shown towards him and rumours to tarnish his name. I have seen him at royston doing his tuition's a fue times very polite. I think because Jim tells it how it is and catches carp that they cant jealousy kicks in. If you ever see this jim big love and love your books 🎣🎣🎣
Loved it !
Absolute quality
Mad respect 4 our uncle jim
The best in the game 👏
Jim poaching in another country will be a belter
Awesome !!!!

Legend!!!!!
Love dark mirrors some stunners on an abandoned lake by me still trying for the 2 known 30s in there it’s a small 32ft deep pond and the stock is unknown there a good 40 to 60 carp in there also pike catfish I think there is a possibility off a 40 in there it’s deep enough and has enough and has enough natural bait there pluss what locals who know about it put in hopefully one day I have a video with a 40 lol the two 30s will come eventually
Really good podcast 👏
Brilliant.
Epic end ov!!!!
Met Steve Alcott 10 years ago as a customer working at YELL… he had a factory in Bilston…great guy, put me early on sticky krill and urban baits nutcracker …. Sound guy
An excellent watch. Such an interesting and engaging character. Some great stories.
Well done to Hassan also who is growing in to this role nicely. The false surprise and excitement, and interruptions are gone. He's a far better host now than he was a couple of months back.
Jesus ! he must have been bloody atrocious then.
Agree with that, could do with knowing his history fish a lot more . But he’s trying and getting there .
Been waiting for this
Listen to Jim and terry Hearn all day long
