Why does an Angling Legend have to be someone who either writes books writes articles or appears on tv.
Surely most of you will never have ever met them never mind fished with them.
Most of my angling legends are local people whom i know and have fished with and with great characters.
So because someone has great command of the English language and can write a book that makes him a legend does it..
Most legends i know swear like troopers dont give a toss for reputations and as for writing a book or doing articles forget it,their rods do the talking
