The legend Tommy Pickering is 4 hours was not enough, could listen to all his stories for hours and hours. Thank you Guru 👍

[@davidhaworth6021]

Well Tommy I never thought I would would watch a video for for 4.090 hour's and no body is actually fishing in it ,ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT total respect bud , and that is from a Lancastrian.

[@michaeltarling4803]

What a gent thoroughly enjoyed this loved the book I think it's about you wor honoured how does Sir Tom sound

[@leighgrebby]

Loved it, thanks Tommy. Come on Guru here’s your chance for a new rod range, The Tommy Pickering Range, get it done.

[@andyhickling4892]

Please please get Tommy back on again I could listen for hours. Used to go to his shop and this reminded me how interesting he is to listen to. Thanks Guru and Thanks Tom

[@andykirk26]

Wow, what a captivating interview! Can't believe I watched the full 4 hours, so good! I could listen to Tommy for hours. What a life & career in fishing he's had. He speaks from the heart ♥ Well done Tom & Matt! I'd have loved to know if he did go to church that Sunday after winning the world champs. Ya can't make a deal with God & not keep your end of the deal 😉🙌🏽🙌🏽 I remember him coming to my junior club to do talks/presentations for the kids, which is over 25 years ago. Legend of a man!

[@jefftuttlebee7472]

What a fantastic 4 hours 👏 I've laughed and cried all the way through this emotional roller coaster👌 what a legend 😍

[@stevemccrory9130]

Thoroughly enjoyed that. First encountered the (then) Tricast Barnsley Blacks in 1986 on the Klavarlen River, in Karlstad, Sweden, on a WL final. The ferry from Harwich to Gothenburg was a hoot, learning (by watching) how to play poker.The fishing was incredible. The country was amazing. The weather was scorching (June). Got one of Tommy's purple Connoisseur Waggler Specials., and will never sell it. Watched the first 2h12m not signed in, so that's a "view". Watched the rest when signed in, so that's another "view". Commented.....POSITIVELY. Thankyou Matt, Toby, Guru, and Tommy.

[@JonArthur]

Tommy Pickering what a man, what a legend. I could listen to him for hours he is an inspiration and driving force in angling and life. I first heard of tommy when i was collecting The Art of Fishing and read his article fishing Fleets dam and ive followed him since. Keep up the outstanding work and where can i get a copy of Born to Win

[@californiancondor6860]

I still use Toms stick floats. He used to bring me casters when we fished the Twyford midweek matches in the 80's. Great fella,lost his phone number like a fool. Would love a chat with him !

I haven't watched it yet.. But FOUR HOURS.. WOW. 😂

[@shaun8453]

Absolutely brilliant

[@jackjamesrigby1663]

Fantastic podcast, inspiring guy. :D

[@JohnWilliams-wl2cf]

There is no doubt Tommy Pickering is a match fishing legend whose name has not dimmed or diminished in statue from the Barnsley blacks days through all of the changes of our sport to today... one man whose name I think has diminished through no fault of his own through the ages is Dave Thomas who won the world title on the Avon in the 80s ,,, it was the images of him running his float through in front of what seemed to me was thousands of spectators that sparked my little mind into wanting to be like him one day, not to fish for England or win the world title but just to be good enough one day to get the chance to fish for a crowd like that ... I would love the chance for him to go back there again for 5 hours while thousands of us clap and cheer his every fish into the net ... id pay to go and watch that and so would your KZbin audience .

[@philipwelsh2069]

Brilliant couldn’t wish to meet a nicer bloke great fisherman and ambassador for the sport met only once but had the time for a chat
