Throughout time Chris has been obsessed by all thing carp fishing in particular surface fishing and stalking using a float and worm, he gives great insight into these two very niche methods that have seen him still to this very day catching incredible carp.

Sign of the times that only 10 people have commented on this great interview, even though he has sadly departed. I love his attention to detail and genuine enthusiasm for over 50 years of carp angling. You were blessed to have spent time with him Frank.

over 20 years ago Chris was on a carp fishing trip to France that a bunch of us went on,remember it well as he fell in the lake and I caught my biggest ever Carp,every night at dinner he would tell his carp stories and we sat quietly listening it really added to the trip and on the way back to the ferry he gave his carp book a century of carp fishing to the lucky captor of the weeks biggest carp. RIP Chris Ball.
