I'd hate to be famous my brother in law used to do club circuit singing and got stage fright just helping him set up his speakers on stage serious!

I wouldnt mind the money though especially now im redundant and christmas round the corner and all that, but would hate the notoriety and a ttention not one to seek fame at all actually.

The famous Ron Clay used to post on here, but he left recently.

Peter Jacobs · Oct 31, 2012

Over the years we have had many 'famous' anglers posting here, some remain but post less frequently whilst others have moved on to pastures new.

He and I exchanged quite a few PM's regarding the times he spent in Norway Match fishing with the Norwegian National Team and my club.

Lord Paul of Sheffield · Oct 31, 2012

. . . too busy with other projects and like most really famous anglers they seem to attract a lot of dross from those who are somewhat deficient in the grey-matter department LOL

Probably the longest contributing 'famous' anlger was surely Graham Marsden before, 'retiring'

itsfishingnotcatching · Oct 31, 2012

Shame really, now all we're left with are those infamous members of the PaSC

Mr Cholmondeley-Corker (PaSC) · Oct 31, 2012

Fred Bonney, who played a major role in the famous drama 'Barbel Wars' post on here occasionally.

Paul Boote?

True, but rarely posts as the school-yard bullies cant resisit having a pop unfortunately.

Same as with Ron Clay, I dont understand why people feel the need to have a go, why not just let it go and ignore it?

Lord Paul of Sheffield · Oct 31, 2012

Benny

I think Paul's style of put downs does attract those who are of the "have a go back" school

Ron was apt to start a thread and not reply to questions

Both Paul and Ron are no doubt great anglers with much to contribute and much knowledge but maybe could toned their style down a bit

Mr Cholmondeley-Corker (PaSC) · Oct 31, 2012

But who is more famous:

Paul Boote (wrote a book with Robson Greene)

or

Ron Clay (taught Bob Roberts to fish)?

benny samways · Oct 31, 2012

Well that’s kinda my point. Tone down their style! Because the bullies cant handle people acting like that, thats not very live and let live, thats letting the bullies get away with it by excusing their bullying behaviour!

The 'have a go back people' are just having a go for the sake of it, why don’t they just let paul/ron/whoever be who they are and then they be who they are? Debate insues and interest is kept. But no, the have a go back people single someone out and make it personal. They havent grown up enough to let people who have different views to them, have them.

I could go on and on but don’t want to rant (anymore).

Lord Paul of Sheffield · Oct 31, 2012

Benny
Often I've found Paul the one to start the "put downs" so I'd class that as a form of bullying so the have a go back can be understood, Ron well people did get on at him at the end but by failing to back up his posts or as some claimed he distorted the truth and failed to prove his words it did seem that he was the boy who cried wolf.
