Epic podcast…Martin you’re a legend…the passion and commitment shine through…all the best with your health issues, and look forward to enjoying your Nash films!
Brilliant signing for Nash. Id love to see some Martin Bowler specialist rods now, especially when you see some of the Nash Lads with big Perch when they're not fishing for Carp. A good Nash Avon rod and a Barbel rod with Martins name on would be great.
I grew up watching John Wilson on Go Fishing and reading his books etc. I envy all those kids who have and are growing up with Martin Bowler. This is one of the best Podcasts you have done in my book Hassan.
Wonderful podcast!! Martin is a legend. And still years more to go! I wonder why when they talk here and other podcasts and mention a passion for angling,tgat they never mention Bob James?
Aw, getting to the bit of Martin talking about catching the impossible. We know JW and his amazing shows but honestly CTI is one of the most fantastic fishing series ever made.
I believe Nash tried to expand their base years ago with Paul Garner and Peg One gear. I hope Martin Bowler succeeds with his input. It's long overdue.
Tbh this is a masterclass in how to do a podcast. Hassan just lets the guests speak, dips in when needed with a well timed 'good angling' Awesome Re. The trolls and illness, a mate of mine is terminally ill and has started a vlog detailing his treatments, disease info, symptoms etc. He is not in the public eye at all apart from this, he still gets trolled. People are d*cks whether you are in the public eye or not
Hardly a loss.. he hasn't done much for either of them for a long time. As others have said, he was an a long term sicky, despite being well enough to fish for himself, poach a cameraman and still doing bits for nash whilst getting paid by Peter Drennan. I fished places where Martin fished in the 2000s and hes known to be a prickly character.
@@JohnRea-ex2jf Drennan seem to be more focused on match as of late and the quality of their gear (especially their rods overall) has declined massively! Couldn't tell you the last time they released a dedicated barbel rod or tench rod. 10 years ago maybe? My point was they seem to be slowing down on the specialist side of angling and there's plenty of room for the likes of Nash to come in and take up some of the market share.
Definitely the vaccine causing added problems for Martin. "Died Suddenly" is not a myth, it's a fact, with already millions either having sudden heart attacks or other serious side affects. Hopefully it won't get worse for Martin. We've fished together and he really is a nice guy and a good all round specimen hunter.
Excess deaths are lower in highly vaccinated Sweden and higher in low vaccinated nations in Eastern Europe. You guys need a new theory as this one was over exaggerated too.
The only thing I hope is nash don't try turn you into a out n out carp angler, Martin is the ultimate specialist angler and I hope it stays that way! I love my carp fishing but also love chub barbel and tench hunting and Martins a inspiration for that
He's so good he catches them twice lmao! I wonder how many fish hes rehooked and sent back out in his career? Fishing is just a vehicle to get likes for Martin.
hardly, he hasn't done a thing yet.. I imagine they don't want the bad PR after him getting caught rehooking fish. The wye film he did it on has been taken down? I wonder if thats why he had to jump ship to Nash.
Captain Rehook! Honestly cannot believe Martin Bowler and his conduct. Bang to rights and confirmed rehooking fish for media purposes - why didn't he just admit it instead of lying so publicly then walking it back? Not someone you would want associated with your brand.
Most people in the industry know Martin is a dodgy cat, intensely jealous and always trying to put others down when hes not being recorded. I've heard from multiple people involved that Martin didn't want to work for ill-health for 18 months on full pay, fair enough, but was still fishing loads behind the scenes, doing clips with Alan in Thailand. He didn't even speak to Peter Drennan about leaving as he knew he had done wrong. Heard he poached a cameraman too from Drennan during his sick leave.
Interesting podcast…lost interest on the Carp Fishing, as virtually all podcasts involving Carp are the same…started off well, but lost its way when he started droning on about how big his fish/records were, dropped into the same trap as all the other angling egos…not a fan of MB, but enjoyed the John Wilson stories, who was a proper angling legend.
Brilliant Hasan, I was very harsh in your early days with your presenting skills it was very frustrating, but I do think you just edge Rich from thinking tackle podcast to be the best presenter in the carp fishing world 👍🏼
That would annoy me too but check your ticket. Salmon anglers have right of way in a lot of clubs. The salmon rights on my local stretch on the severn is held by PASS and we have to let them have 3 casts if they are salmon fishing! Stupid rule but cant do anything about it as salmon fishing is a separate lease.
@@robholt8333 not on my stretch of river wye where there is a dont upset the locals rule or your salmon hut goes up in flames ,been that way for over 40 years when a new hut had to be built
What a job you have Hassan!
A great insight from Martin on the draw backs to catching for film. Glued to this pod cast from start to end.

I have to say catching the impossible is probably the best fishing show ever made in my opinion
This is without doubt the best podcast ever, thank you Martin bowler
Great podcast as always 👍 albeit a little late since this was broadcast all the best Martin joining Nash 🎣

Martin speaking so many truths about being sponsored..it does cost you fish as you do need to get the shots ect. videography on your own is hard work.
Best Podcast so far guys! Enthralled by Martin's stories throughout!
Martin's a fantastic angler love his weekly articles and videos he's made brilliant video so far fantastic bloke
Super interesting not many things I listen to for three hours but loved it what a legend Martin is 🎣
Best podcast you have done…Martin is a class act and so genuine. This is a complete refreshing change to the one trick carpy ponies, (sorry…).
I am a sea angler, but, have absolutely loved listening to this, just captivating.

Really enjoyed this very interesting all the best to Martin going forward

As U say .. It’s all self-inflicted. Like being alone. Work harder at being a better angler ... great podcast 👌🏻🥂 All the best Martin.

I think a clever clever move for nash !!!!
44:00 John’s love for nature was immense and infectious.
Bang on this fishings become too complicated no need for a PHD to fish just keep it simple and have fun loved this
Great podcast and what an angler from salmon to carp, such an interesting insight! Great guy, big loss to ESP & drennan.

Just dipped into this but was captivated. I hope Nash broaden their fishing focus. Open minds to other species.
Fingers crossed because Drennan seems to have gone the opposite way.
@@robholt8333Drennan is the main channel for other species. What are you talking about?

Such high quality filming with the mics stuck in front of their mouths !
Totally left field 😮

Perfect candidate to be took on by nash! Esp had a touch really.

All he says is good man belter
he is not all he seems , one day he tried to tell me and my son to stop fishing our local river wye when he was salmon fishing ,
100 percent, hes a dodgy guy. Constantly moaning about other anglers trying to put them down.
