Derek, It depends on the editing, you may see footage of an angler playing a fish and the fish being landed in the same clip, then cut away/edit to another fish caught on a different day with the fish on the bank and being unhooked as long as continuity is kept up, ie same clothes, background, time of year, etc. With digital video so much can be done, as long as you have good footage it makes the editing less demanding. |

the one I did years ago in India had none in it - I told the British producer and director long before they had wheel me in to pitch to and convince a still-doubting big cheese of Granada (Rod Caird at London HQ): "No faking, during or after, or I'm gone..." Miracle: they acceded to my 'demands'.
Just wish that more of the real-time fight sequences of me into Himalayan mahseer of 28 to 52 pounds from the upper Ganges could have found their way into the final 55-minute UK and British terrestrial TV movie, though. The 35mm footage and digital sound is sitting in a vault somewhere, but would still cost a fortune to buy the rights of. Faking? Oh yes, I have seen it at first hand, here and abroad. And we've all seen it, on our screens ... the non-fighting fish (produced from a keepnet, or even a hatchery, after an angling non-result) being drawn in to a cackling fisher's net or hand... Time, money etc... |

hi all,well here is a little story that was told to me from a ringwood bailiff.
john wilson{bless him}was fishing on beat2 at throop,for his go fishing series.he hooked and played a barbel in{not sure of the size}but for some reason they forgot to film the action,so what they got john to do was to get him to hook a tree,to make it look like he had just hooked this barbel like-yes-here we go-its a good fish-laugh-laugh,so what you saw on film was like he was playing a barbel,ime sure the bailiff would not have lied,does make you wonder though.cheers derek. |

I remember on one Go Fishing, when John was lake fishing with two rods and he had a bite on his (I think) right rod and in the next shot when he started to play the fish (a perch I think) it was using the left rod. Why I thought this I don't know but it looked strange at the time and so I used slow motion and hey presto I was right. Had he gone for the first one and missed it or was it a case of, oh look John has a fish on, but we didn't film the bite. Well lets just edit another shot in, no one will spot it! Well I did. Sorry John I am one of your greatest fans though. Playing a tree, I don't see that, but you never know!

ItÂ’s like most fishing books, poetic licence is inserted to bolster the content.
