From growing up in Crawley, a town that has produced some of the UK’s most respected carp anglers, to pursuing some of the most iconic carp ever to swim in our waters, Andrew Bennett has a lifetime of remarkable captures, unforgettable memories and many funny stories to tell...
In this feature-length ‘For The Record’ interview, Andrew takes us back through his angling journey, sharing tales from the Larkfield Complex, Richmond Park, Vinnetrow, Frensham, The Car Park Lake and Stoneacres to name a few. Along the way, we uncover the experiences, friendships and encounters that have shaped his fishing, including the captures of some truly special ancient Leneys.
But for Andrew, fishing has always been about far more than the next big capture. Whether it's enjoying a plenty of beer, soaking up his surroundings or simply appreciating the journey, his outlook on angling is as refreshing as the stories he tells. Having caught some of the finest carp in the country, his focus now lies firmly on pursuing the fish that mean the most to him.
