Big Carp Magazine
One of my favourite ever Big Carp covers, a young Terry Hearn with what was then the biggest carp in the UK at the time Mary. From Wraysbury1 120 acre lake. In the days when there was only an handful of carp in there. Though the lake now as huge amounts of carp in, and the lake is much more smaller, and more than ten times easier to catch from now.
For those who have asked, have I ever had anything published before.
I had the old Loaded magazine years ago ask me about the days of the 'Casuals', and how we brought in clothing from countries like Italy. Maybe I will write about that another time.
Maxim magazine wrote a small piece about me once catching big catfish.
Though my own personal hand written stuff, started with some short comedy pieces in local rags, and then onto mainstream newspapers like the Daily Mirror. It was only letter page stuff though, but they printed it. I can write about most subjects.
Though it's fishing magazines I have had most of my articles printed in.
I used to have my own underground OTT fishing newsletter get passed around lakes all over the UK, and some did make it as far as Europe, Canada, America, New Zealand and Australia. Purely from anglers passing them on when going on fishing holidays.
Cos of this (Excuse my bad English). I ended up in fishing magazines. Rob Maylin of Big Carp Magazine is the only one to ever print one of my serious articles in a fishing monthly. Though in them days they were bi-monthly's.
Though Rob was the first one to have the balls to print my real crazy stuff. From Dr Kibble's Approach, Kibble's Column, Bivvy Babe Sideways Sally, Jimmy Old Jokes, Some Carp Casualties, Kibble's Creations, Kibble's Kartoons, to Kibbles Krumpet. The list is endless.
A long time ago now. I wrote a 12 page article in Big Carp magazine, it was more like an hour of stand up than fishing. Many anglers still go on about that to me to this day, when I bump into them on my travels. Some of them are anglers I don't even know.
Kibble's Krumpet come about after a fishing website I had. The website was full of funny anglers, big and small captures. Size of fish didn't really matter. Loads of crazy story's. There was topless and nude models on it as well. At first I used to take the photos myself, but in the end other websites give me free photos of models, in return I had to put them up as a link on my website. I never put up any pornographic stuff though. All nude models had to be over 21. It was popular. I had to close it down in the end. It just got to popular, and the website hosts started to want more money off of me, because they thought I was running it as a business. I just started it as a joke, and that is all it ever was. Nothing was ever sold on it.
There's no point sending my type of material to some editors. If they are boring old farts with no sense of humour. Your just wasting your time. I know Rob Maylin gets me, he has a good sense of humour, and he is a bit of a geezer.
