Welcome to the Thinking Tackle podcast. Now, today I'm joined in the studio by two guys who need

absolutely no introduction from me whatsoever. However, it is Tom Dove and Neil Spooner

of the stars of Monster Carp season seven. Their very first as a duo.

Now they're going to talk today about not only what you guys can expect from the series,

but also quite a bit about what happened behind the scenes.

So, with no further ado, I hope you enjoy the show.

The Thinking Tackle Podcast.

Tom Dove, Neil Spooner.

It seems slightly odd to be welcoming you to the place that you work, but welcome to the podcast.

You welcome to the podcast.

Yeah, well, thank you.

Thanks, guys.

This is only my second day of recording.

So, but when this comes out, we are literally going to be days away from the launch of

what has probably been a big part of your lives for the last couple of years.

Well, this series, obviously, last year, but the show in general, like seven years.

Yeah, seven years? I only got one episode in season. So we're talking Monster Carp, yep. Which has, you know, rapidly become the biggest fishing show on telly, I think. Seems that way from the outside anyway. Cool. I think the Mortimer and White House one on BBC gets much. Which we, you know, we love. Yeah, I love it. Yeah, yeah. I really do. And interestingly, it couldn't be more different. You know, the pacing of yours is vastly different, isn't it? Yeah, it is, yeah. Now, there is one major change to this season, isn't there? My hairline.

Two.

I didn't have to say anything.

No, because I thought you was going to say it, so I jumped in with it.

Okay.

You're talking about Ali, maybe?
