Summary
Tom Dove and Damian Clarke are joined by LOSER Adam Reed and CHAMPION Tom Stokes in the latest Uncut episode.
In Uncut Podcast #030, the lads finally get Tom Stokes back in the studio — fresh from winning Carp Angler of the Year 2025 — to talk about a year of incredible captures, controversial voting, and that ridiculous float-rod common!
But not everyone's happy about the result… 👀Reedy reckons there's been "a little bit of controversy", and Damo isn't letting him forget it. From marketing plays to mid-40s on the float, this episode is pure Uncut — laughter, honesty, and a proper celebration of carp fishing at its best.
🎣 In this episode:
- The Carp Angler of the Year controversy explained
- Tom's story behind his biggest fish of 2025
- Damo and Reedy's brutally honest take on the result
- Spooner's 50 Cup — new 50s and 60s revealed
- The "dead fish" that wasn't dead after all 👀
The perfect wrap-up to another massive year of carp fishing.
