Yet again Des comes out with a blatent contradiction of his own thoughts.
Angling times, page Page 31. Under the heading "keep Carp Where they belong...." he clearly states that..refering to a 14 pond carp caught on 4 pound line..."...it was unfair to play the fish that long!"
He then says in another column "Sharks in my sights" that he is off to Namibia to catch shark from the beach using beachcasters. He then says to see the article about it on page 39.
Quote .."best so far is around 290 pounds (1 hour 45 minute fight).....estimated at 340 pounds (2 hour 30 minute fight).
Now, to my mind, this is bloody stupid fishing. As these sharks fight, the longer they show distress, the more likely it is that other sharks will attack them. Also, when returned, its not into a nice river or pond, its into an open sea, with very strong currents, surf and other sharks to contend with.Whats the difference between what he is away to do in a foreign country to what he is moaning about on his own doorstep.
Out of sight, out of mind maybe??
I wish Des had the bottle to face some of the questiones posed to him on this forum instead of hiding behind an editor and taking pot shots at us, the readers. Come on Des.
