Carp Fishing Legend Ritchie McDonald | Korda Mindset
Спорт
We join carp fishing legend Ritchie McDonald in session at Embryo’s Norton Disney as we take a trip down memory lane and look back at some of his most cherished fishing memories.
We delve into the mind of one of carp fishing’s most iconic figures as he talks about his life in angling and his approach and mindset to targeting big carp. Rich reflects on past captures, talking in detail of Yateley North Lake’s Basil and the tactics that led to its capture. Richie also talks about his time at Wraysbury, fishing alongside Pete Springate and how this is still one of his most cherished fishing memories.
Richie discusses the baiting approach that he places so much importance on, that he believes, catches him bigger carp.
A fascinating insight into Ritchie’s approach, that can’t not make you smile in nostalgic bliss.

The godfather of carp, my hero as a mad keen teenager back in the 80s. We lost him for too long and it’s so nice to have him back. He’s living the dream and lots of us owe this guy so much.

With genius, success and fame there is often a darkness, some shine through it in time, others are devoured by it, Ritchie has fortunately shined through, and long my he continue. thanks to all who aided that journey.
Thank you Danny and damo for bringing the living legend back for us ❤

3:10 up to 5:50 the care taken to protect that absolute specimen is just sublime. At the 5:00 mark how he read what the fish was thinking and instinctively tried to protect it. Reminded me of my great grandfather. Take nothing but memories leave nothing but footprints. Great video. Please make more like this from the old school.

As someone who has only really taken to fishing over the last couple of years it’s amazing to see the insight from those who have been doing it, and doing it well, for many years before us. Whilst I’m all for learning the modern tactics (and believe me I’m trying 😂) sometimes you forget the basics and listening to Richie really does open your eyes. We’re quick to dismiss the old hats because things change and move on but you’d be a fool to not listen to experience.

For me it was Mr yates who inspired me to become a carp angler but for many it was this man a absolute legend of the sport.
The only man I know that court a carp at gunsberry Park by hand a true legend in my eyes . Mad love and respect cee-jay 🎣🎣🎣🎣
Along with Hutchie, Richie guided me into carp fishing. We all should salute him and others that pioneered modern carp fishing.

Kord's got some talented lads no doubt they could out fish most people but like a Tesla can out perform most cars there's more to driving than just speed. Ritchie brings carp fishing soul to a brand that can be lacking in the pursuit of catching above all else.
This dude reminds me of a bailiff at my local 🤣 legend

Always remember Yates saying that carbon rods loose some of the connection to the environment. At the time I didn't rate it but as we AstroTurf swims, dye water blue to kill weed and cover ourselves with synthetic materials and even use plastic bait I totally see what he was getting at. So many waters are little more than swimming pools with synthetic carp being prioritized over a natural balance and anglers don't even have a clue as to the singular moments, where for a fleeting second there is nothing else.

Part of the reason I began to feel disconnected from Carp fishing. I grew up fishing ponds, then little lakes, then Linear and Linch Hill, in the 90's by then. Untouched, yet to be heavily commercialised. It was wonderful. Most places have become spoiled, over-run, 'fish by numbers'. I finally Carp fished a bit again last year. 5-6 different farm ponds. Only freelined and stalked, like being a kid again. Caught plenty by watching, using stealth, old fashioned watercraft.
Who ever thinks ritchie isnt an angling lefend needs to sell their tackle. Hoping i can shake his hand when im on pettits in april
I was hoping to hear the story of Ritchie getting booted off Redmire.
Was looking forward to this then saw it was 13 mins. Shame
