Now today we are delighted to be joined

by a guy who is a bit of a UK carp fishing legend

But also has fished for some of the very biggest carp in the world

Mr Clive Gibbons, thank you very much for coming in. You're very welcome. How are you? Good. Really good. Happily retired. Yeah. Do you miss it? It's strange. Because you were part of the angling trade. The angling trade, it's fair to say, isn't it? It kind of forget about work. I was just speaking to Rooney about it. Instantly, it's very strange. Bearing mind I speak to my boy every day, who now works, four-quarter. You fill your day with daft things. Much fishing? Oh, I'll be busy today. I've got to go to the shops.

I mean, we've got a bunch of albums on the table in front, and these are just to help guide me, because it's fair to say, you've done a lot of fishing both home and abroad. Yeah. And you obviously haven't been watching too many of our podcasts, Clive, because you have brought us a gift. It's a bit of a throwback. I thought that was part of the deal. Well, I think
