Gone too soon. This film details the incredible story of how Kev Wilson, a young man dubbed for greatness, gave up carp fishing in what felt like the blink of an eye. Growing up in Leicester, his aspirations were never to chase the UK’s biggest and best carp, but his carp-catching ability and love for fishing soon saw him grow into the epitome of a big carp bounty hunter. Kev fished flat out for a number of years, catching nigh on every single carp he ever fished for, before his jump from grace at the pinnacle of the big carp scene. Nowadays, he doesn’t own a single item of fishing tackle, all that’s left is two photo albums full of carp. So, what changed? Why did he give it all up? That’s exactly what we wanted to find out.
