Nash Tackle Off The Hook Podcast - S2 Episode 28 - Jim Shelley
Спорт
We’ve finally managed to pin him down and get him in the podcast studio! This week the podcast welcomes legendary big carp hunter Jim Shelley.
Jim is widely acclaimed as one of the very best big carp anglers in the history of the sport. If any proof was needed as to Jim’s carping pedigree you only have to look at his incredible record including historic captures of some of the very best carp that have ever lived in the UK and his continued relentless hunting of big old English carp. Jims drive, passion and pursuit of carp has often left in his wake a whole host of rumours, incidents and controversy. In this podcast Jim talks through some of his most significant captures and sets the record straight, there’s one thing you find whilst listening to this podcast and that above all else Jim certainly tells it like it is.
Jim starts by talking about his time on the historic Wraysbury of old, imagine one hundred and twenty acres with only seventeen carp. He guides us through his approach which ultimately led to his historic capture of former British record Mary at 52lb 12oz. In this chapter Jim also speaks about the tragic events which saw the death of his close carp fishing friend “Marky Mark” and how this affected him. The party scene and celebrations as well as a few home truths about subsequent captures are also covered.
Collingbrooke in Kent was Jim’s next port of call where he targeted the infamous “Two Tone” mirror which had grown to weights in excess of 60lb. The fishing on there was renowned to be very tricky with a couple of bites a season being really good going. In true Jim style he set about the task going against the grain and reaping some serious rewards.
Jim talks about his time fishing for “unknown” giants on Fen Drayton. Just armed with his knowledge, a boat and an unwavering hunger to capture something rumoured to be very special he developed a plan that would be the downfall of some truly historic and special captures including a 48lb linear!
In his final chapter Jim talks through his capture of arguably the finest carp that has ever swam in our waters “The Black Mirror” from the mere. Fishing a no fishing venue with minimal gear whilst surrounded by a host of carp fishing’s finest anglers targeting the same prize is certainly a daunting prospect and a big ask. Jim as ever managed to live his dreams and cradle The Black Mirror in an incredible carping crescendo. In an added bonus Jim has shared with us exclusive footage of his capture which he hasn't shared before.
Finally, Jim speaks about his mindset, how he has changed as a person and how he has worked on himself over the years allowing him to be better understood and communicate better all in a manner which allows him to help other anglers. Jim talks about learning to read and write only ten years ago and then publishing three separate books, an admirable achievement in its own right.
We know how eagerly anticipated this podcast is and it sure doesn’t disappoint. Enjoy an incredible, historic, funny and frank three-hour dive into the world of “Uncle Jim”

Said it before but Jim is one of the few pro anglers that took the time to message me back when asking for some tips with a hard lake i was fishing.. not many other anglers would take time out to do that..

That was the bollocks I don’t think I’ve seen Jim so chilled true legend 👊
Jim's a boooy, always know his as the carp catching machine that he is, but it's been great to see the real Jim on the podcast, and on Elliots 'hunter' series, keep catching em Jim 👍
Jim is an absolute legend watched him for years.
I saved this for the night I needed it thank you uncle Jim
Not watched a single one of these yet, but couldn't resist once i saw Uncle Jim!
A most incredible piece showing the journey of the proud legacy of an amazing angler. One of the best I have seen to date. Respect & thanks 🙏
Everyone has their opinion and people are always quick to chip in their 2 cents on Jim, and you can say what you want. But there's no denying this man is and always has been a machine and someone we can all learn from. I for one have the utmost respect for him and to go from not being able to read or write well, to publishing a piece of literature like Uncut is a real testament to his sheer grit and determination. Gotta respect that. Yes uncle Jim, keep carving out your path and when you talk I for sure will be one of many listening.

Jim poaching in another country will be a belter
The best in the game 👏
What a absolute legend of a man. So much hate shown towards him and rumours to tarnish his name. I have seen him at royston doing his tuition's a fue times very polite. I think because Jim tells it how it is and catches carp that they cant jealousy kicks in. If you ever see this jim big love and love your books 🎣🎣🎣
Love dark mirrors some stunners on an abandoned lake by me still trying for the 2 known 30s in there it’s a small 32ft deep pond and the stock is unknown there a good 40 to 60 carp in there also pike catfish I think there is a possibility off a 40 in there it’s deep enough and has enough and has enough natural bait there pluss what locals who know about it put in hopefully one day I have a video with a 40 lol the two 30s will come eventually
JIM and TERRY carpings top notch
Dont know why Jim gets bad press. What an angler! Great podcast 👌
Uncle Jim 🙌
This man is a legend and a proper angler. Poacher this man is and i wounder if he has had the bc 🤔
