From early encounters with uncaught monsters to a lifetime spent pursuing some of the country’s most sought-after carp, we delve deep into what makes Garry Atkin tick, and the relentless drive that, to this day, keeps him focused on the next big target...

In this feature-length ‘For The Record’ interview, Garry reflects on his early exploits on the River Trent, nights spent sleeping on unhooking mats deep in the Cambridgeshire fenlands, and the experiences that have shaped his approach to big-carp fishing. We explore the methods, mindset and motivation behind his relentless and often sleepless pursuit, right through to his ambition of finally putting a UK 60lb+ carp on the bank.

A lifetime of big carp, countless stories and no signs of stopping just yet... This is one not to be missed.
