Biggest influence in my life? Rod Hutchinson and not just for his fishing but his words and his ways. A real legend in our time

@davidryley4162 Месяц назад

It was sad watching this once great man reduced to slurring his speech. His book, Now & then is by my side. R.I.P ROD ❤❤

@rapsy1699 4 года назад

A truly great legend. Rod corresponded with me many times when i started carp fishing in the late 70's, and put me on the right tracks with regard to making baits. I have all his letters still, as well as a signed 1st edition of the carp strikes back which i will always treasure. Rod was a true gent, and his outlook on life and fishing is what made him special. Very sadly missed.

"If you're too drunk to cast, chuck in in the edge" The Carp strikes back. RIP Rod.

This series has now peaked for me. Please keep producing these interviews, they are important documents.

@waubsrocker2043 11 лет назад

Started carp fishing exclusively in the early 80's - all thanks to Rod Hutchinson's books and his articles in the Angling Times. Great carp man and pioneer! Thanks for posting this interview.

Rod is still the man I could listen to him all day and night. I still remember some of the Horse and Barge nights at Savay.

@peterjohnson8935 4 года назад

What an interesting guy. Never met Rod but what he gave to fishing will live on.

Bless you Rod what a true legend and gentleman Glad I had the pleasure to meet you and shake your hand ... reading your writings back in the 80s inspired me so much ..... Missed but never forgotten Rod 🙏❤

@horrorfreaklondon3037 6 лет назад

Bless ya rod. Met you in shop at louth as a kid. You signed my carp strikes back! Long time ago.....

@ShaunQuestBaits 11 лет назад

Rod Hutchinson through his writings inspired me so much as a young angler. A total legend from his local pools, to the legendary Redmire, Savay and on through Europe with lots of waters in-between. The man was a total catching machine and totally down to earth. A mans man who made sure he had a laugh along the way and still out there doing it to-day. The carp angling world owes an awful lot to this man.

@ColinPickney 8 месяцев назад

So modest a pioneer of big carp fishing, never met rod but sounds very easy to get on with talk to

@thomasfritz5844 6 лет назад

Great Interview. Not only the man is a legend. The carp strikes back is one of the best books i've ever read. And imean not only books about fishing. Met him once in Belgium. He is very impressing

@gone2fish2fish 11 лет назад

you are the legend rod.

@LeighWinspear 7 лет назад

Im not an exclusive carp fisherman, as in a bivvyboy, but I just want to say, I believe every word this great man says! Its rare in this this world that truth be told, but here it is, for our generation to absorb. An amazing piece of film history and a positive summary for angling, of all quarters.

@roblaws9966 8 лет назад

A true legend and one of my biggest angling heroes.

@Ukedc259 11 лет назад

Excellent to hear Hutchy talk about his angling memories. I'd love a book that alternated between his and Chris Yates's view of their seasons together on Redmire. Same pool, same year, two perspectives, one book ...

@michaelmorby4417 6 лет назад

Legend no other words can explain him a man who inspired me into carp fishing and meeting him in Doncaster few years ago was fantastic you will be missed rip rod

@ronwood7029 2 года назад

@burniemaurins2382 5 лет назад

Top man, helped me advance my Carp fishing no end, nothing was too much trouble for him, freely gave up his advice.

@marcusdownes7417 4 года назад

Rest in peace old fella, gone but never forgotten! X

@lightmyfire378 3 года назад

Pure legend,definately one of the pioneering greats

@INSTRUCARP 6 лет назад

Rod is a great inspiration to me. His baits, books and ideas have got me catches I'm sure I wouldn't have had if I were not using his ideas. His books, in particular The Carp Strikes Back, have some of the most informative and incredibly funny stories in them.

@mugphish 10 лет назад

Rod is a living icon to carp flavours! Monster Crab & Scopex(over 25 years old) together would make an awesome bait. Those two flavours together would out fish most baits that have just come out!

@davidryley4162 Месяц назад

Mmmmm John Baker found Scopex and Monsrer crab. Rod gave them the names. John Baker doesnt get the credit that Rod & Kevin Maddocks made famous. I am not digging out Rod as he was one of my favorites, but he did take credit for what John Baker discovered.

@pinkfoothunter1 11 лет назад

Growing up Hutchy was always my carp fishing hero, he did it off his own back, not like today's boil in the bag carpers armed with Korda video knowledge and a bag of some mainline crap. I still regularly use an Apothesis bivvy to this day and like he said one of the best bivvy's ever invented

@apassionforcarping5275 6 лет назад

Mike Rayner korda have done as much now for carp fishing than hutch has dont knock mr Fairbrass because he makes a good living at it.

@andyledger2307 6 лет назад

And I'm sure Danny would be the first to admit that Rod paved the way for those that followed.

@bissell1966 2 года назад

And as for the mainline crap

@chrisdavies725 4 года назад

Great guy great influences to myself .. got me the big fish buzz to have a go myself. I will always remember ready his books and using the bait.carpworld 1 epic cover

@tutts999 3 года назад

The carp strikes back made me a Carp angler. Not a particularly good one, but one that embraced some of Rods passion.

@marksmith-pj3bh 6 лет назад

I remember when we were catching maybe a dozen a year, then rod said use peanuts, strewth some of us were getting a 100 odd a year then. When peanuts blew he said use tiger nuts, yep, back to whooping em again! This was kent back in 1980, yep he knew his onions.

@davidryley4162 Месяц назад

Sorry to correct you. Rod, gave the flavours you mentioned, thier names. They were in fact, John Bakers discovery. Not a lot of people know that. Rod got John Baker, rat arsed and wormed M.C out of him. Silly John 😂😂

@portcullis5622 5 лет назад

Although it could be argued that Rod Hutchinson was the inspiration for the legion of laddish lager swilling morons that invaded carp angling over the last 30 years, that would be unfair. One may as well blame Walker and 'B.B'. Sadly, carp fishing was destined to become a big business, whatever happened, due to the modern 'bigger is best' mentality. Rod wrote to help others and I always enjoyed Rod's writing. From reading his books, there was so much more to him than a list of huge fish captures. He grew up on the writing of Walker and 'B.B' and understood the natural beauty of the waters and the soulful side of angling. He once wrote that "waters lose their mystery when the fish are caught regularly. I think we enjoyed it more when we caught bugger all" (not the exact words). I know exactly what he meant. I caught my first winter carp on his 'Sucreblend' baits in the late 1980s. It was awful stuff to mix (with eggs) but it smelt wonderful! Very sad to hear of his passing.

@rapsy1699 4 года назад

I hear what your saying. As far as im concerned the good days of carp fishing are over. I stopped carp fishing at the start of the 90's. Too much money, bullshit, booze and drugs involved now. Sick of being priced out of some lovely venues and them being screwed up by the selfish attitude of the new breed of carp angler. Im glad i was there before it all started to go wrong, and i enjoyed the golden years. Rod had the right attitude. One of his sayings was take time to smell the roses and he lived by it. A true carp fishing pioneer.

@portcullis5622 4 года назад

@@rapsy1699 I too despise the modern 'carp scene' and the way it has ruined so many waters with overstocking of carp at the expense of other species to appeal to those that shout loudest. I still enjoy a bit of carp fishing, but it has to be on my terms; beautiful old waters with smaller fish, so that it does not attract too many of those types that fit my definition of modern carp fishing; A field sport, involving the use of several baited lines, with a creature with a brain slightly smaller than a walnut at one end and at the other (eventually), a carp.

@rapsy1699 4 года назад

@@portcullis5622 Trouble is, is that those lovely old waters you refer to are all being brought up by syndicates. One in particular I used to fish was a cracking tench venue, the one you imagine when you think of misty mornings, old overhanging trees, Lilly pads, and tench blows everywhere. It now resembles a bomb crater, the trees having been cut down because said walnut brain can't cast whilst they were there. It also resembles an advert for Stella Artois, as it is carpeted in beer cans. I despair. At least I have my great love of pike fishing where I can wander for miles in the fens where at least walnut brain can't bugger that up. I hope.

@portcullis5622 4 года назад

@@rapsy1699 I agree that it is all so very sad; especially the mindless destruction of lovely old tench and crucian lakes. Modern angling 'journalism' (I use the term in its broadest sense) reflects, or perhaps inluences, the attitude that there is not much more to fishing than self-hooking rigs for overfed carp and muddy puddles stuffed with pellet- addicted carp and ugly (pointless) F1 hybrids. The mindless modern carp attitude has also invaded barbel angling. Fortunately, here in Yorkshire there are still miles of river that won't appeal to walnut brains, either because fishing them involves walking and putting in effort, or because there are no carp and not many barbel; just beautiful 'lesser' species like chub, grayling and dace.

@davidryley4162 Месяц назад

Several years ago, i fished Brasenose 2 when it first opened. A van pulled up, 4 anglers got out, and the first thing out, was 6 crates.of Fosters. I shook my head in disbelief.
