A Lifetime of Angling Memories
For more than sixty years, I have been fortunate enough to meet, fish alongside and compete against some of the greatest characters and champions our sport has ever known.
Legends in My Lifetime brings those memories together in a collection of stories, photographs and original music — celebrating not only what these remarkable anglers achieved, but the people behind the names.

Why I Created It
Preserving Angling’s Memories
Records tell us who won. Results tell us the weights and the medals. But they don’t always tell us about the people, the friendships, the humour, the rivalries and the moments that made an era of angling special.
That is what I hope to preserve with Legends in My Lifetime.
Great anglers live on in our memories.
