Following their success on the Estate Lake in Part 1 of the series, the deadly duo set off on a quest for a big unknown carp on a large and virtually unfished lake in Cambridgeshire.

At the start of their quest, the pair believe their task to be a fairly easy one, but far from it – one year and a great deal of filming later they begin to realise that the capture of the elusive Blue One was a much bigger task than they first anticipated.

Follow the two anglers through the ups and downs of their quest with little diversions along the way to day ticket waters like Holyfield Lake on the Essex Hertfordshire border and Manor Farm and Hunts Corner Lakes at Oxford. They also visit homes of two of the UK’s biggest known carp, Conningbrook and Sonning, which includes footage of Lee’s British record carp.

The Quest For The Big Blue One was filmed as it actually happened on the Cambridgeshire lake, session by session, and gives the viewer an insight into the thinking behind the successes of two of Britain’s most popular and successful big carp anglers.

The two part video was filmed over three years and at times Terry, Lee and Len Gurd, who shot the footage, began to think that they could see no end to it. Then, out of the blue came the Big Blue and everything changed…..

The videos, or DVD’s, are available through:

And also in many of the bigger tackle shops, although I’m told they are in short supply at the moment and mail order is best.

FISHINGmagic VERDICT

It’s difficult to think of two more likeable and successful big carp anglers, and two that are confident enough to chat away so naturally while that all-seeing eye of the video camera is forever peering at them. Lee and Terry make an excellent job of it.

Although there is some very good footage, which will be of interest to all passionate carp anglers, it’s not really a video to learn much from, apart from an insight into what makes these two tick. That in itself could make the videos worth it to many.
