As I sit here extreme fishing with Robson Green is on the TV.
He is fishing for cod with electric reels that ,reel the fish in for you.
What great sport. Not!!
If you want to catch fish like that , why not put a long line out, or a net.
Also he just chucked the fish into the boat to die, not give them a tap on the head.
We may do it, but he is presenting a fishing program and should be setting an example of how you should do it.
Just my opinion

He's a Cock .... took him four whole series to learn to cast properly !
Watched the latest episode in the UAE and he did dismally (true to form). The GT he caught was a real baby; they get them in musandam to 130Lb. The fight is exhausting for the angler and can last up to half an hour; a true test of stimina and angling skill. I was praying for him to hook a big one...if only to see him crying :0)

Trouble is, he has a job to die for!!
But at least he could get a bit of background info and set an example to people who may want to take up fishing after watching him.
At least treat the fish with a bit of respect

Totally agree Eccles Henry Gilbey is the man to watch seems a really genuine guy to watch totally into his sea fishing , hopefully he will be doing some more shows , in the meantime I will do a bit of searching too see if he is .

tv companies seem to want to include women in their audience - otherwise why give Green that show - which begs the question: are there any women watching the show ?
If they are failing to increase ratings then it would be nice if they could find a celebrity angler who ticks the boxes with the guys.... how about Jack Dee or Jeremy Clarkson :0)

No ..
What the lady viewers want is The Old Fart , fishing show.
Witty, charming, great sense of humour, experienced with age, and hung like a murderer.
Well ,you have to know what the audience want!!

Oh I dunno - Gilbeys an annoying git at times but Robson is a disgrace to the Geordie Nation
and a crap Angler - he would have handed his rod over to some one else if he had hooked a 30
pound GT let alone a 130 pounder - the best Angler on the box is Cyril Chaquet - total nutter
but Loves his fishing and treats all his fish with the utmost of respect
