EP 217. Andy Griffith, Thresher Sharks.

Thresher Sharks are the jewel in the crown so far as shark angling goes. For those wanting to complete the UK shark Gand Slam, they probably rate on a par with the Mako Shark. Least ways they did until recent times when the grounds to the east of the Isle of Wight started producing them reasonably regularly. Still a rarity though, and a species Andy Griffith required to complete his Grand Slam. But instead of being fortunate enough to catch one, here he describes three days fishing which produced the staggering total of five.

EP 216. Sam Harris, 'Gone Fishing'.

Recorded in 2018. 'Gone Fishing radio show host Sam Harris is used to being the one dishing out the questions. In a reversal of rules here he is put on the receiving end in an examination of his long and varied angling life.

EP 215. Andy Griffith, Six Gilled Sharks.

Recorded in 2018. Having completed a unique IGFA gand slam for Sharks in British waters including taking the Welsh Mako Shark record, it looked unlikely that Andy Griffith would be able to top that achievbement on home turf. But top it he has with two Sharks in excess of 1000 pounds both taken on the sane day.
