The Thinking Tackle Podcast. That is a legitimate showing of being scared though, isn't it? At least mine, I hit it quite well. I wasn't actually... What? You actually admitted you were scared. Of what? You know what. I'm not going to say out loud because it's recorded now. No, no, no. You pretend you've pretended that you weren't getting scared and I've just said, I respect the guys up there if I don't want to ruin it and it's for myself as well really. I could see the fear. So could that way. Anyway, we're going to start. Welcome everybody to the Think and Tackle Uncut Podcast. As you can see, Spooner is not here again this is getting mental now

it's much better without him well i don't see the point in having him we might as well just replace him

permanently everyone's realizing how much he fishes yeah he pretends he fishes not a lot is this one of

family holiday or fishing i think it's to say both i think both again yeah okay i think he's. I think he's in a place in Devon, is he? Like a little log cabin with his family and doing a bit of fishing. That or Chezza. Yeah. I'll do you a little story post it in Charles. Yeah. Right. First of all, I think we better do, even though he's not here, we do the Spooners 50 prize. We've had three entries come in since we last spoke, all really, really nice carp. We have already chosen a winner, I'm afraid. It was quite an easy one this week, it's an outstanding carp. But first of all, we've got Josh Marchant, who's had a fifty-three pounder from Elfix. It's a right old slabber carp that. Cracking bit of fish.'ve got Josh Marchant who's had a 53 pounder from Elfix it's a right old slab of
