    The guy is awesome, what he has achieved in a single lifetime, the detail, the knowledge, the intelligence, just awe inspiring. And to watch Matt trying to glean bits of info & soak it up 👌
    One of the best podcasts, well done guys, just fantastic 👏👏👏👏👏

    At exactly 1h 34m into the podcast, I've paused it to share this.....Here's a fact from the old days regarding WC selection.....the top anglers in the National, one each from the top 5 teams on the day, were the anglers who went to Worlds to represent England, before the days of Stan Smith, Dick Clegg, and Mark Downes selecting the best anglers irrespective of their individual team or the National result. It was Stan Smith who changed the selection process enforced upon the manager by the NFA.
    I've watched the secomd half.
    What a podcast. Has to be the the best, most honest, most "tippy", most intruiging, most forthright, most complete one EVER. One thing to be taken from it is to never wear a white t-shirt while on the bank, fishing or not.
    Thankyou Hadrian and thankyou Matt / Toby / Guru for this.

    First time subscribing and must say I really enjoyed this podcast as I was interested in what H had to say. I have known him for many years and watched his progress over the years. He has become an excellent angler and contrary to what he may say I find him likeable and approachable, but not during a fishing match. However, I think he does go overboard blaming sky-liners believing that the fish scare easily. I think most times it's in his head, but how can you argue with his record? Personally, I believe fish can be attracted to a swim when they see shadows, just as someone who is throwing bread into the water for ducks the fish start feeding. And how can we explain that when the boats on the Wye finish for the day, the fishing slows up? I remember the legends of yesteryear such as Ivan Marks and Kevin Ashurst always drew a large audience of people behind them and that never affected their catch rate. For H not becoming an international Angler is a sad loss for the English team. I did ask Mark Downs why he was not picked and Mark said he would not fish to a team plan and this interview explains why he is an individual. Probably in my opinion the best all round angler in the country at this present time

    What an angling brain. No wander you come smash us all up at Redhill f1 shallow for a few months. The way you talk about bleak, the small edges. Scary when you apply that level of thinking to f1's. Really enjoyed this. Ta

    Like Hadrian, I was diagnosed with Perthes Hip at a very young age. By the time I was diagnosed, the ball in my hips' ball and socket joint had worn away to almost nothing. I'm older than Hadrian and surgery wasn't an option at that time, so I spent 3 or 4 years on crutches with my affected leg suspended so that I couldn't put my foot on the ground. Fortunately, I recovered completely and then built the leg up to normal musculature through playing sport. Although I was warned to expect problems with the hip later in life, I'm now 58 years old and have yet to experience any.

    Replying to the topic of people standing behind anglers and costing them fish,everyone knows or should know the record that Ivan marks had.He regularly had 200 people standing behind and still performed to win.If the public were roped off in those days,how much more would he have won??Every time he was 2nd with 200 spectators behind him,would this have cost him winning?
