Excellent show once again . I didn’t know commercial fishing boats could fish wrecks, continuing to learn from the master… On to another angler who had his own tv show, without giving out his name, I’m going back about 25/30 years maybe. He would pop the fishes swim bladder with his knife and toss them back in saying that they live to fight another day. Now like I said I’m not going to give out his name, and to be honest I did look up to this guy for a very long time.

Certain fish when caught from shallow areas can be returned. But when fishing at such depths, the damage is also internal. The nervous system, its organs the lot. They may swim out of sight. But they die.

As a young lad I watched Jaws, and then went out with Frank Vinnicombe on our family holiday. The ocean was like tomato soup for miles and miles with plankton(He said he had never seen it like that before)it was too calm for shark so we fished a very deep wreck. My father and I were canal and pond fishermen. Our 2lb leads in really deep water just felt like big fish. We kept hitting bites and fighting our empty tackle. We blanked but the men gave us a big ling. We had a BBQ (I'm sure Habitat brought BBQ to Britain that year with its £8 Hibachi grill) and it was the best bbq meal I can remember. Is it nice fresh and BBQ'ed or was it just my excitement about eating on a Falmouth beach in the dark(we even had beach candles because my sister had a Saturday Job at Habitat).
