Absolutely superb, Oz is such an inspirational person and you can't fail to learn from him when he speaks. Having been fortunate to spend some time with him, he's a fascinating person to chat to and his enthusiasm is infectious
So, so true. My final campaign was a (eventually successful) 4 year effort to catch a forty pound carp from a lake in a US state that has real challenges. It’s finished now, as is my 60 year carp journey, but my memories are of nights and early morning, not so much the fish along the way.
I think you have put into words what many of us feel about our angling and lives...great post, great fella.
Great fella, much respect! Be nice to see him out on the bank too! 🤞

The 'Zen' of Carp Fishing. Wise words indeed. Good on you Oz. from Mark.
Very interesting guy what a legend
We're all just walking back home.
I'd love to spend a few days fishing with Oz... Always a great watch!

Love that man
Great angler
Failure is inevitable .. In life you will & do fail. Being beaten is something else - you only beaten if you so accept that you are !!
the scene is broken, too commercial & lakes that non sponsored anglers cannot gain access to containing the biggest fish.
Philosophy isn't something I'd have expected... come to think of it, nor did Oz...
Lovely spot on
