Pete Springate or 'Sir Pete' as he is fondly known is one of the godfathers of carp angling. When Noah put two of everything on the Ark all those years ago Pete was one of the two carp anglers. His catches have been legendary for almost 40 years.
Where he hasn't fished and what he hasn't caught isn't really worth mentioning. We all gasped in awe at the picture with the Yeoveney brace on the back cover of Carp Fever way back in the 80s but some would argue that his most memorable brace was that of Mary and Mary's Mate. Not once but twice he has left us amazed.This is Pete's story of his incredible carp fishing life as told in his own words in 2008. The rest as they say is history!
