Big Carp catching machine, Darrell Peck joins Neil Spooner and Adam Reed on the UNCUT Podcast, fresh from an intense Spring campaign on one of the country's toughest venues - and the conversation quickly turns to whether he can still compete at the sharp end of modern UK carp fishing.

After spending years focused on European adventures, Pecky opens up about returning to the pressure, competition and commitment required to target some of the hardest carp in the country. From 35 nights out of 37 at Long Reach to close-range encounters with the Lord of the Manor, there's plenty to get stuck into.

🎧 In this episode:

• Pecky’s 35-night Long Reach campaign and why he committed so heavily
• Fishing a 30-carp lake where opportunities are few and far between
• Range fishing at 180+ yards and making the most of tiny windows
• The reality of competing against some of the best anglers in UK carp fishing
• Catching Starburst at over 50lb and other Long Reach captures
• Why solid bags are still massively underused
• Spooner’s latest syndicate success and a new target fish
• A quick trip to Bulgaria, plenty of bites, and an unexpected new fishing dog

Pecky speaks honestly about getting older, staying competitive, and whether he still has what it takes to keep up with the new generation of anglers. A proper insight into modern big carp fishing, campaign angling, and the mindset needed when the odds are stacked against you.📬 Want to join the Spooner’s 50 Club in 2026?Send your UK 50 entries to: [email protected]
