This week the podcast welcomes a real northern big carp legend in the form of Rob Gillespie.

Despite hanging up the rods for over a decade Rob has had a huge impact on the big carp scene, catching the most desirable and difficult carp from famous waters such as Capesthorne, Redsmere, Tatton Park, Stoneacres and Dinton to name but a few. Over the course of the podcast he talks in depth about his fishing and what led him to take on these huge challenges as well as what ultimately he puts his success down to.

Rob also talks about his thoughts on rigs and bait. A lot of carp anglers will remember that he rolled his own bait which had an incredible cult following, he shares the realities and ultimately what became of his tenure into the bait game. 

Robs incredible passion, desire an ability still holds an incredible about of respect and admiration from those who are at the top of the modern day big carp scene. He has a wealth of top anglers that he's shared the banks with yet throughout this podcast Rob is humble, open and honest. He's a true inspiration and we are pretty sure he'll be dusting off those rods again in the future!
