Korda Thinking Tackle Podcast #027 - Tom Stokes | Carp Fishing

Tom Stokes has been steadily building a reputation as one of the finest big carp anglers currently around today. With a string of high-profile captures, including “The Burghfield common”, “The Baby Black” and “The Brute”.
Continuing with that run of great form, his most recent capture was Farnham Flint’s largest resident at 52lbs 4oz, The Pristine Common.
During this episode of the podcast, Tom exclusively tells us the epic story behind his most recent notable capture.
Furthermore, he also demonstrates his great passion and storytelling abilities, as he recounts his most recent and relevant captures, giving us an inspiring insight into his fishing philosophy.

Ive Just started watching toms videos on here and love them, what a passionate and genuine guy, someone give him a full time fishing job, he deserves it

[@a._._j._.1183]

Listened to Tom on the Spodcast a while back. Made a 3hr drive pass instantly. His story telling is so captivating, I felt like I was on Burghfield with him.

[@allthingsfishuk8926]

Along with Carl and Alex this is the best podcast so far. Such a nice guy and his commitment is inspiring. Korda should pay the guy full time. Thankyou both I will listen to this over and over.

[@callumcousins5887]

Up there with the best podcast you guys have done, Tom tells an awesome story, draws you in well! I only turned it on to watch 20 mins, 3 hours later, podcast complete 👍

[@joebarton1475]

There’s not 5000 years of silt down there! Something’s been going on down there! Made me chuckle 😂

[@TommyDeCleenCarpAngler]

By a mile one of the best podcasts so far ... Tom is just one hell of a nice guy!!

[@jamesheighes5900]

Great podcast the best one yet! Really hope you can create a great space in the industry for yourself Tom

[@MrDekaying]

Fascinating to listen to, comes across as just a really nice guy. Take my hat off to him for the level of effort and commitment hes putting into these captures. Another excellent podcast.

[@GrollyNG]

Great angler and so down to earth. Top bloke 👌👌

[@jamesgibbons901]

Nice to see a local lad doing so well. Proper dedicated consistent big fish angler who holds down a job nothing but respect 👌

[@mv7110]

Watched and listened to a few of Tom's things lately, seems a proper genuinely nice guy, and to achieve what he's done whilst holding down a full time job must take a shit tonne of dedication and deserves a lot of respect. Looking forward to hearing more from him, great story-teller.

[@mtsmotorsport120]

I could honestly listen to Tom stokes for hours and hours on end . What a great podcast and hopefully look forward to seeing him in future episodes 👍

[@JEBull89]

Great podcast. Every time I see this guy on something, he just reminds me of one of those mates that we all have, that mate that’s the super chilled one, always happy, doesn’t offend anyone and Just does his thing 😂.

[@grahamrowland6681]

And breathe. Great podcast Tom tells a great story. Got to be the easiest interview yet, ask a question and sit back for an hour lol

[@gazb9179]

Love Tom's storytelling. "In my mind......" Brilliant episode!

[@andyharper3492]

A proper nice, genuine gent. This guy is Terry Hearn with a job. Would love to see what he could do as a full time angler.

[@K20rotrex]

Hearn with a job 😂

[@mattiemclean9882]

Hearn with a Brummie accent! Hearn meets Peaky Blinders!

[@timroberts6310]

What a guy, loved listening to Tom. I'd say best podcast to date.

[@thenocturnalangler3400]

Best podcast yet, Tom is my favourite angler to follow 👌

[@neilmaston5116]

[@tomemmery7485]

Scott Lloyd and Greg Ellis would both be brilliant guests. Love the podcast!

[@deereed82]

I can never get in to these podcasts until now. This is brilliant. Especially when Tom me tions the secret channel on Burghfield. "No one can fish the channel...(looks at camera) no one could fish that channel" haha 😆 😜

Great angler and story teller

[@willygg2625]

Imagine ordering a couch and Tom stokes shows up at ur door😂😂

[@dreamz33oosh]

Just goes to show even the greatest of anglers need luck, no pegs available, ends up in a swim he's not caught in, wanted to move and had the biggest and oldest most sought after in the lake, good darts man👌🏻

[@gazb9179]

Thing is with deep lakes, while they hold their temp longer it also takes miles longer to warm up once temps av dropped really low. Big-ups to Tom tho!, Wicked angler! My opinion him n Greg are head n shoulders above the rest in their generation. Aswell as Scott Lloyd maybe. 3 wicked, young big fish hunters!

[@danf7092]

Really enjoyed this, great podcast Tom.

[@TSIPhotography]

Would love to see Kevin Ellis

[@daleHarrison93]

100% defo & Terry Hearn but dunno if he would come on

[@markdavies8037]

Simon had an easy interview there. He could have gone home and just left Tom talking!

[@lukewilliams4234]

When was his first podcast??

[@KordaTV]

His first podcast continues after the story of the 'The Pristine Common' - We felt it made sense to include that story and add it to the first podcast. Simon explains this at the start. Hope this is a little clearer now and enjoy 👍🏼

Whys he on the podcast because he caught a fish by accident cmon get chris yates, kev ellis, terry hearn or some of the old school carpers who wont be with us for much longer

[@darryldavies8302]

🤡

[@jamesgibbons901]

I think you need to understand some of the tasks Tom has taken on. Caught be Burghfield common and a huge amount of the stock in that lake and held down a full time job. Deserves nothing but respect . I think I’m right in saying the Burghfield common, the baby black, and the pristine common are all 50+. Dont for one second think you can catch fish like these on a consistent basis by accident. He is consistent because the lad is top draw and mega dedicated. Just because you haven’t heard of the lad it doesn’t mean you can’t respect what he has done. A lot of full time anglers don’t take on the challenges this fella has. One of the best anglers out there for sure.

[@darryldavies8302]

Anyone that can hold down a full time and tick these amazing fish off one by one should get the upmost respect, not have people moaning that they've never heard of him. I can see him getting more and more exposure the next few years. Class angler.

[@paulnelson7698]

Kevin Ellis is only about 55

[@daleHarrison93]

@@paulnelson7698 but chris yates etc, the original carp catchers club all passed away now but there is still a few left of the old school and i just feel this young lad should of been saved for a while :p
