Items related to Ritchie on Carp: The Whole Story
geezer came up to me the other day and said: "Didn't you used to be Ritchie McDonald?" I said: "No, mate. That's where you're wrong. I didn't used to be Ritchie. I still am. I haven't changed. It's everything else that changed around me." That's what happens when you turn your back for five minutes and the next thing you know there are blokes walking round with radio-controlled bait boats that cost more than their rods and reels, you discover that you need a degree in electronics to programme your bite alarms and everyone is watching underwater DVDs and tweeting their catches on their smartphones. What is occurring? It's been twenty-five years since I wrote my first book, and a lot has changed in that time, so I thought I ought to tell you what I've been up to. What I haven't done is gone to live in Thailand, become a professional darts player or joined the Foreign Legion, as some have suggested. But to find out what I have been doing you'll have to read this book. It contains the whole story, hence the title, from the first time I picked up a fishing rod, to catching the biggest carp alive in Britain, and a lot more besides. It's been an eventful journey, with some moments I will never forget, and others I wouldn't wish on my worst enemies. I hope you find it entertaining and also learn a thing or two, while having a few laughs along the way. I had to read it myself just to find out what I'd been up to, but as the saying goes, if you can remember what happened, you obviously couldn't have been enjoying yourself. RMc
