Summary

This months podcast is the biggest one ever and rightly so as we have the legend that is Chris Ball as our special guest. A angler with 60 years carp fishing experience under his belt. Chris is most famous for being one of the most knowledgable carp historians to have ever lived.
 
His passion for keeping records and researching carp fishing history goes way back and we were thrilled when he agreed to be our guest. That aside Chris has albums and albums of incredible carp, most caught on cane, most caught off the surface and whats more he still fishes a few times a week and catches loads! 
 
As well as Chris's interview Mark and Mike discuss snorkelling lakes, sound under water, algae blooms and sediment covered gravel areas plus we touch on line concealment.
