The first of the modern fishing films, shot in the wild panorama of 1970s Key West. Colorful scenes of Key West from another era - with treasure hunters, smugglers, hippies and eccentrics - are background to stunning cinematography and tarpon fishing at its finest. Authors, Richard Brautigan, Tom McGuane and Jim Harrison join with legendary flats guides, Woody Sexton, Gil Drake and Steve Huff.

I love when fish hire corporate strategists and PR agencies to undergo a rebranding. The past few years has seen the arrival of branzino on restaurant menus here, never heard of it before that. Apparently it was called European bass, maybe nationalist Americans wouldn't go for that.

Chilean sea bass used to be Patagonian Toothfish, yeah can see how that might not be appealing. Mahi mahi was dolphinfish, no one wants to eat Flipper. I'm sure there are others.

I've caught 14 big Crucians from this park I fish this year. Only found out about it at the start of the year but must have fished it 40 times to catch those fish. There's not many lakes in the UK with Crucians that size, so when I catch one like this, just over 3lb, you can see how happy it makes me.

This is the biggest known fish in the park. It's a Carp called Cut Tail. I caught it at 24lb 1oz, not only a PB but also a venue record as the heaviest it has came out at.

Stourport on the river Severn is where I plan to fish over winter but it's too cold even for that at the moment, and when it's warmer there's a good chance the river will be too high.
