This week joining Hassan in the podcast studio is the man, the myth, the legend that is one of the West Midlands finest secret squirrel big carp hunters Ben Brettle or "Benji" as he is known.

Benji is known and widely respected as an incredibly driven big carp hunter. He has rubbed shoulders with the very best anglers such as Tom Stokes, Gaz Fareham and Marcus Howarth to name but a few. He is an angler who likes to keep his cards close to his chest but in this episode we manage to pin him down and talk all things big carp.

Benji talks about his fishing starting in the West Midlands and moving promptly onto venues such as Yateley Car Park lake, Horseshoe and various Cemex waters back in the day. He shares stories of success, failure and memorable moments from this golden era of carp fishing. He goes on to talk about the influences of Terry Hearn and others on his carp fishing and why he has developed an incredible mindset which see him fishing the hardest waters in the UK.

He talks about the darker side of the full time angler in terms of sacrifices that are made and also exactas toy what fishing full time looks like. Benji is very open in sharing his recent chapter of angling in the Cotswolds Water park and gives some enlightening edges around how to combat crayfish in a water.

Benji is a mine of information, not only that but he has walked the walk when it comes to carp fishing at the very top end. He relishes the hardest of challenges and this unwavering passion has lead him to gain huge respect across the very best anglers in the land.
