Maybe it was payback for holding the tench up for so long while he gobbed off.
Bet you have a crisis of conscience every time you catch a fish
When I catch a fish I don't hold it out the water while I have a conversation with a camera. Surely it's common sense to show the fish to the camera first, then put the fish back and then talk to the camera!
It's not just that fella, it seems to be a common thing among these wannabe film stars.
I remember watching John Wilson doing just that with a Wye caught Barbel on what looked like a blazing hot day, even showing it off to some passing paddlers before giving it the old line...
'Let's get this one straight back'
Matt Hayes also bugged me for doing the same thing, going off like a scratched record to tell you all about the species he'd caught.
It's all very Victorian to my mind...
A lot of people are doing free video's on you tube for us to watch of varying skill levels.
I think a bit of encouragement would not go amiss instead of constant moaning about " wannabe film stars ".
most of them make ****** all money
Well said.
Some people seem to have a real problem with tv or video's on fishing but still watch them.
I guess it's just to pick fault whether warranted or not.
I don't think any angler would have a problem with a video on angling if the fish where treated as they should be.
As far as i'm concerned my comments on the video are correct. If the chap had done his talking to the camera after he'd released the fish then his video would be ok.
If you are so concerned about the welfare of fish then why go fishing? or is it just your take on what is fish welfare.
You really are borin the cr@p outt'a me ffs :bored:
