Henry Says:
Anybody who knows me knows that I have a serious problem, and that is my lifelong addiction to fishing. Over ten years ago it was getting so bad that I had to explore the only route left open to me, and that was to find a way of working in fishing and making it my life. Don’t ask me quite how it has happened so far, but at this point in time I work full time in the sport of fishing as a writer, photographer, TV presenter and consultant. I love my job and I love fishing more and more each day. I told you I had it bad.
For some strange reason I have been asked to present four separate TV series so far, principally for the Discovery channel (Home and Leisure, then RealTime, and now Shed – they like to keep you on your toes !!) – Fishing with Henry (don’t you just love that original title), Fishing on the Edge, Wild Fishing and Wild Fishing 2. I remain eternally grateful for the fact that anybody actually watches these shows, because you can rest assured that they never get shown in my household. I love the creative process of actually making TV shows, even on our small scale, and the great thing about fishing is that the sport is always going to be bigger than the individuals. There is no such thing as a “fishing celebrity”. We spend our fishing lives trying to beat nature, and I would guess that nature kicks us all pretty hard a lot of the time, and being on TV ain’t ever going to change that.
If I can help the campaign even the tiniest bit I will be really pleased.
