Podcast Drop – James Parry – Iconic Carp and British Records

This month we have a great guest and one angler we’ve been longing to get on the podcast for some time, @james.parry.71 . James first came on my radar when a picture surfaced of a giant carp, one that had a stature like the iconic Black Mirror. This fish was as good as it gets and became etched in carp fishing history as one of the best we’ve ever seen. James recounts his adventure that ended with his dream carp in the folds of his net, a story that won’t fail to get you buzzed up for an adventure. James also tells of his discovery of a record sized carp back when big carp were rarer than hen’s teeth, proper pioneering stuff plus tales of travelling to giant European lakes like Du Der in the early days on foot! That aside, me and @mark_the_baron_bryant discuss rig effectiveness based on a carps speed, we also delve into a hot topic at the moment, low water levels, low oxygen issues and we touch on a recent trip that had us both paddling our own canoe down a giant river for 6 hours in 37c heat…….. enjoy!
