Live Match Fishing: Evesham (RiverFest Qualifier) 

Hi everyone, I've been completely blown over by the response I've had from this film! There have been so many kind comments that I've found it too overwhelming to reply to them all, especially after such a whirlwind couple of months. Things have been complicated, but the good news is that they've got to the bottom of things and I'm in a much better place now healthwise and mentally. Your support has been so much appreciated, it really has! I will try my very best to pay you all back with some nice films to watch. Once again many many many many thanks for the overwhelming amount of support. It's heartening to know there are so many nice people out there in the angling community! 🙂

Get better soon John. We are all thinking of you and hoping for a speedy recovery mate

Jon it is horrible seeing you like this,fingers crossed for a speedy recovery 🫶

John thank you for this matchwinning video. We forget so easily that fishing and filming a match is a lot of extra work on the bank as well as at home. That is ok when you are 100% fit but a heavy task if you are not. Wishing all the best to you and your family.

Hi Jon congratulations on your win ,so sorry to see you in that condition, I too had a serious illness 8 years ago which has left me with a medical condition which affects my lu gs and leg muscles, stay strong and focused things will get better .........Nice to see you out fishing
