- This week joining Hassan has cemented his place in carp fishing history, from putting fishing on TV through to transforming media within the industry and catching incredible carp both home and abroad along the way it’s none other then “One More Cast” Ali Hamidi.
It was surreal and a privilege to have Ali over at Nash HQ and to sit him down and explore the man behind the myth. A huge amount (if not all) of Ali’s angling exploits have been documented over the years and this podcast pays homage to his standout chapters on the bank, however the main focus is about what makes Ali tick, why he chose to leave Korda, his secrets to success and what drives him moving forward.
Starting with Ali’s childhood in the warzone of the Iran Iraq war he talks about family and him moving to England. He talks about his introduction to fishing and also dealing with challenging aspects of adjusting to life in the UK especially. Ali goes on to describe his early angling exploits in Essex on venues such as Layer Pits.
Pursuing his media career moving up north to university in Cheshire Ali talks fondly about his time immersing himself on the northern carp scene in amongst the like of Frank Warwick and Gaz Fareham. At this time Ali also found himself fishing the historic Redsmere and how writing a chapter on silty meers led to him being published in Carp World.
Ali then goes onto explain how via work experience at Sky Sports and a brief very successful spell within another industry lead him to get the job as head of marketing at Korda. He talks about his time at Korda both behind the rods and in the office as well as his relationship with other members of the team. He also talks about the changes he made with regards to media which have shaped a lot of what we see now from media within angling.
The decision of Ali to leave Korda a year or so ago sent shockwaves across the angling industry and community that’s for sure. Ali talks in detail about this and his aspirations with regards to his new company One More Cast. He openly talks about his start at OMC with regards to Bobby Zamora, Ray Kelvin, Nic Warner and The Grand Fishing Adventure to name but a few. The reality and challenges of starting a new business as well as Ali’s incredible drive and work ethic are highlighted in this section also.
Finally, Ali talks about his future aspirations and what drives him. Ali is an incredibly driven, humble and knowledgeable man with an unrivalled passion for fishing and the promotion of the sport on a wider level. He has always remembered his roots and those that have helped him every step of the way and despite being so successful he never takes anything or anyone for granted. This podcast in a very open, honest and frank depiction of the man himself.

From a war zone to a Carp icon. You can't fault Ali's passion and drive. Great watch.
Love the Nash podcasts Hassan does a great job .
For me I love the stories and the life before the fame .
I think people will have more respect if they see where people have come from .
Great watch as always tight lines .
Have said it many times ali's energy and you cannot get a more genuine angler this is one fella I wouldn't mind having a session on the bank or a pint in the pub I think what you see is what you get big love mate and I hope OMC will never need advertising 🎣🎣👍
Ali’s love for angling is infectious. Just listening to him makes you want to go fishing.
Lots of respect for both... I always liked Ali's style but I've learned more about the man behind the Angler today and to be honest the industry owe you a lot, Ali! 💪
Great podcast, Ali is a natural storyteller, which makes for easy listening. Them hours flew by. Top class podcast as always

Good podcast.. Very useful.. 👍
You hit nail on head Alan's fully of energy met him a few times had good chat and grandson keeps asking if we can go see him again you both same keep it real and hard working
Very good podcast again chaps. Ali comes across has a really top bloke, he will 100% succeed in everything he does that's for sure, all the best with the new company 👍
Ali’s always great value, has some mega stories, and have to respect what he has achieved!
Thank you for this one, it was a pleasure to listen. Great stuff great characters.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙌
Top top podcast, brilliant. Actually best one yet for me. Ali’s work ethic is only to be admired…Love to know what Puma trainers they are….? 😬👍
Fantastic watch such a humble man great to hear your story from childhood (the pee pants made me chuckle )good luck to you ali 😀
Sick pod cast always a pleasure 🙏
Great podcast and inspiring man
Great watch lot of respect for Ali, you can really see the passion for carping will definitely miss monster carp 👍
Any jobs Ali would love to work for you 😁👏👍
Great watch as always 👍
Wow like one comment says monster carp really brought fishing to the masses up there with river monsters I prefer the nash podcast to the korda one that Simon I can't stand the way he does the podcast the nash one just feels more chilled
I'll never forget when Simon called gaz fareham gaz Farnham!🤦♂️
Ali is fishings biggest star now ⭐️ and as fir not being known as an angling great I disagree with him. Before the itv deals and Korda product promotion he was considered up there and to me still is. He probably just has different goals now that he’s caught the big girls worldwide, released books etc people change with time, things change
Hail Ali
What a geezer thank you for you passion 🙏 and herd work with angling.trust all for us .
We owe you thank you 😊 🙏 ❤️ #onemorecast
Big respect to Ali what a legend
Brilliant mate on UA-cam
Ali, you joke about, but bring Frank into the fold of One More Cast is a great shout. Develop your first rods, just one more cast from the Warwick, marketing dream.
God it makes me really sad to hear of the racisim you experienced :( I think it always shocks me to hear it because I never really heard or saw it at my school growing up in the 90s . So it's brilliant you are such a great and happy success and fascinating to hear you speak . And as usual Hassan you knocked it out the park with your interview!
I actually really like the clothing he's bought out with OMC. already own a beanie hat and got my eye on the hoodie for sure. followed Ali since early thinking tackles great guy
That was a amazing listen best one so far I believe with Blair and so on you kind know what his background was going be like as youth but hamidi il be honest I did think was abit of helmet and abit full of himself but after watching this and the story of your journey planes dropping bombs as a kid normal then moving to another country and all the effort you have put into life to get to where you are today hard graft proper inspiration to as a angler and anyone in life proof that you work hard you can achieve in life thanks for great listen Mr hassan and hamidi
Great interview thank you! What a man! A national treasure . I've no doubt at all Ali will absolutely smash it out of the park with OMC. Deserves every ounce of success he gets 👏🏻👏🏻
I met Ali and the tall bloke can't remember his name 😄 at the northern show a few years ago had a top laugh with the both of them genuine guys the both of them I wish him all the best with his company good luck Ali if you read this 👍
Ali is a top bloke. Deserves a lot of respect. Good luck to you mate and up the Liverpool !!!!!
Ali ,what a nice bloke.
Ali hero 👌greats from holland
A warm friendly human being, hard working and a character nice to see him so happy.
You know it’s gunna be a good episode when you here the name Ali hamidi
I thought wow single scale, I never thought Ali had that... Oh the French one
What happened to Ali's big project the one he left Korda for?
???
Got a lot of respect and admiration for Ali and wish him well for the future, but confess I wish he'd stayed at Korda. Not keen so far on omc if honest but of course early days...
Good podcast though! 👍
I promise you we’ll make you proud mate. Early days, I’m big into the vibe of making it fun and family filled. Endorsing the sport supported by good products. It’s a dream I would love to realise. ❤️👍🏽
Ali did you see the pandemic increasing people starting fishing to stupid levels.waiting lists on syndicates are through the roof
I felt gutted that he had to put up with racism coming up. His views on it though are very interesting. Bet the people who know who they are feel some shame
I remember Kevin calling me back about my bivvy, he could of easily let someone else deal with it but he called he himself, I didn't make it as a professional angler but I'm a good one still. 😅
Who painted that wobbly line behind him, sorry that’s all I toke from this
2 hour 30 minute podcast with an angling great and all you took from it was a wobbly line, which is actually the top of the sofa and not part of the wall 🤦♂️divvy
18:45 i thought iranians are classed as white so hes lying about racism
Are you joking?
Turned off @ 23.41, I'm hear for fishing not political race rows. Ur a guy on the bank who has done well,vry well, we all take the knee for "all" lives matter, take that small violin and stamp on it.
🔔 end
U just don't get it, do you?
Engerrlaaannd. 😂
