Video 495: Mark Mott of Chessington: 'Fishing For Fun' 

‘Fishing For Fun”: My son, Mark, has absolutely no interest in pigeon racing, but we do share a great interest in fishing and music. We started him off fishing at a very young age and he caught his first 10lb Pike at ten years of age. He is the member of several Angling clubs and has caught some really good fish through the years. He has caught big Barracuda and Jack Crevalle in Mexico, big Pike and Carp in Surrey, but says his best fight ever was a his 9lb 9oz Barbel at the Pigeon House Stretch on the River Wey in August 2021. He caught the Barbel in the dark on a ledgered 15mm Pellet and after the rod bent over 4ft, the game fish took him into the reeds and tree roots on the river bottom. These are few his fishing pictures taken over the years. Well done, mate! (August 2021)
