A little slice of angling history...

Last autumn after reading a post on Martin Bowlers facebook page, I put my name down on a list to show my interest in acquiring a limited edition print of a never before released image of Chris Yates with "the Bishop", signed and numbered by the man himself! Like many anglers of my generation, A passion for angling was a big inspiration to me, and I always admired the quirkyness of Mr Yates and as such he'd become a bit of a childhood hero of mine. Well in true Chris Yates fashion, about 5 months later he finally got around to getting the prints made up (51 in total, 1 for every pound that the Bishop weighed when he broke the British carp record back in 1980) and I managed to get my hands on one!
