No No NO not that eejit
lol..he may not be everyones cup of tea, but he is one hell of an all round angler. I used to fish with his brother, Dave, who used to have a barbers shop in Waltham Abbey and run Holyfields Trout Fishery where I first cast a fly. It is now a well known carp fishery.
Daves quest was to get one of the big Thames Brown Trout and he managed, a fish of 9 pounds +, but he caught it on bacon! so he never published the photos, although they were on the wall in his shop.
Very nice chap, and so is John if you can get past the laugh
