  • He's the country's most well-known predator angler, star of countless television programmes including Wet Nets, The Great Rod Race and Record Breaking Fish.
    Mick Brown is also an author and angling coach and has a staggering 23 pike over 30lb to his name. But, as he'll tell you, he's very much an ordinary bloke and finds fame 'very strange'. Welcome to the world of 'The Duke'...

    Mr Mick Brown. You are first of all a true gent. inspirational, admirable, honest, humble, Obviously educational to other anglers, passionate, and a true hero of the angling world. I can relate to your younger pike days as I was brought up thinking that pike were vermin and a food source, From a young fishing age I was fishing around my dad and uncles catching pike and taking them home to feed to our dog. I am ashamed now. If I was to describe you with just 1 word it would have to be = legend.

    It's very true, I was asked once by a polish lady why I didn't take my catches home. She literally had no idea that 1) it was illegal and 2) it's just something we don't do in the uk. She found this really strange obviously but we need to educate not alienate these people and branding them all as criminals
