  • Nigel Sharp | For The Record | S1: Ep.6

    Nigel Sharp needs no introduction, but if you were to give him one, “This man has been catching the very best of big British carp for more than a millennials lifetime!”, would do nicely.

    You might not know just how much this man has brought to carp fishing, though.

    Episode 12
