I bumped into Denis White a few years ago and a lovely unassuming bloke. Andy kinder I also found approachable.

I've met a few along the way but the one that stands out was Martin Bowler, and Hugh Miles.
I was catfishing at Linear a few years back and when I arrived a whole corner of the lake had been cordoned off. My first choice area was occupied but the corner was my second choice. I set up past the cordon where I could just reach the back of my first choice area and a few hours later Martin Bowler rocks up in his van and parked next to me.
We had a chat and it turned out he was filming an episode of Catching the Impossible, after catfish! The out of bounds corner had been baited up for 3 weeks. It was no coincidence we turned up on the same day and we had a good chat... he certainly knows his stuff. Not long after Hugh Miles turned up and although we had a brief chat he had too much stuff to sort out before dark. Nice fella though.
And I had a catfish in the middle of the night.
Largely though most modern "superstars" aren't that impressive when you meet them. Some of them aren't even that good as anglers imho, certainly not as good as some people I know.... good salesmen though.mg:
