Barbel Fishing 124. Topcliffe Tues 29th Oct

[@francolinobasco]

Lovely video as ever Tom and well said regarding our safety, very sad news regarding Steve Stringer and my thoughts are with his family they must be devastated. I have fallen in on two occasions during this season, both times during summer and I think at times as anglers we don't always put our safety highly as we should. I do believe a compact life jacket and or dog spike and rope used in flood conditions could perhaps save a few anglers.

Nice fish again Tom,very clean looking fish.my heart was in my mouth watching you slipping about the bank whilst playing that barbel ,scary moments mate but a good example of how dangerous the river banks are this time of year.tying yourself off to a tree doesn't seem a bad idea when you fish alone tom.excellent video excellent fish and an excellent pirouette mate lol.see you on the bank

Tom, for goodness sake, get yourself an extending landing net handle, so you don't need to get so close to the water when landing your prize. We're not ready to lose you yet, ( Vids are too good ). Take care and keep them coming.

tragic news about the angler tom... very lucky you didn't end up in the river playing that barbel.
