"When I turned eight, my dad would take me float fishing in the canal near where we lived in Banbury, Oxfordshire. I was ecstatic if I caught anything; I'd run in circles with excitement and take pictures with my Polaroid camera."
"I now work as a plasterer in Brackley, Northamptonshire, and find fishing is a great way to switch off from a physically demanding job. I try to go abroad on fishing trips a few times a year with friends."
"This spring, I booked a trip to a fishing spot in the Champagne region of France. It has a list of the fish in each lake so you can create a wishlist. You have no real control over what you catch, but I was after the Carrot."
"Though we agreed if anyone caught the Carrot, they would take the lot. On the second night, I went to sleep in my tent about midnight. Just after 2am, I was woken by my line alarm going off, letting me know that I had a bite."
