This vid is some 20 years old now but is still quite funny on the bank in my old Barbour, shorts and jesus creepers, and not forgetting the Bruce and Walker Hexagraph days, pre-Rolling Pin which came later. A visit to the Bruce and Walker rod factory in Huntingdon showing how my rod was made (well part of it anyway) Loved Screaming Reels at the time. The filming day on the R.Kennet at Aldermaston Mill (when it was day ticket below the roadbridge and there was still some lush Ranunculus weed cover), was very hot and sunny. I thought it would be hard going to winkle one out that day. The intention was for Nick to catch his first barbel on his new Hexagraph rod and that is the way it turned out, in fact very quickly to my astonishment. He caught 2 barbel by midday and that was good enough for the fishing bit and camera crew...and the producer caught a chub later that day. I thought Nick's size of meat and plasticine was far too big when he cast out and i 'cringed' at the sight of it. What happened during that cast and rolling it through the swim whilst cameras rolling and us talking speaks for itself in the film, and is just how it happened when Nick hooked into one.
The footage is taken from my old VHS cassette and re-recorded via camcorder and edited, so the quality is not as good as the original.
