I am having a few minutes on the computer before I watch Countryfile, discussing fishing this week. I watch the fishing programmes on Discovery and cannot help thinking that if I was a non-angler watching some of these programmes the way some of the fish were handled would look pretty barbaric. I am not going to name names as these programmes feature well known anglers and I would not like to be accused of sour grapes. I have just watched the episode of Preditors featuring Kev Green and John Watson fishing for pike on the Norfolk Broads for the second time, having watched it a couple of weeks ago when it was first shown. This was a brilliant programme and the way the fish were unhooked and handled was perfect. Programmes like this promote angling in a positive way. John Watson, you are a true star sir.
