#057 - Tamas Walter

Well, it's difficult not to speak about it when we do the planning-

Well, we had an hour and a half on the phone

... or, or yesterday on the bank, yeah.

But give us a kickoff, Tamas Walter.

Where did fishing begin for you? What was the first taste of fishing for you?

Probably the smell of the fish, which was very weird comparing to anything what a three, four years old kid experience, you know, in the kitchen next to your mom, and then your dad comes home with a pike like a meter long.

You know, it's carry with big teeth like that.

[laughs]

And yeah, I'm from Hungary.

We eat freshwater fish over there.

Mm.

We had some chats about it in the past.

Not, not, not every species of course, but my dad was so proud bringing home, bringing home a big pike, and we had some delicious smoked and fried fish.

And-

What, what kind of fish do you eat? Coast fish.

Uh, we-

We, we eat none other than trout and salmon.

No freshwater fish.

Yeah, we eat trout and salmon as well, but as we don't have mountains and we don't have sea, you know, salmon needs one of those two at least.

Mm.

We don't have these fish, only imported to Hungary, you know, just like every other seafood or, or, or, or that kind of stuff.

But we have proper freshwater fish to eat, and I, I can imagine it sounds strange from, from a country with all around, with sea all around, but, but, but zander is a brilliant fish to eat and, and, uh, catfish from certain conditions, from rivers-

Mm

... where they are living a predator life, you know, not like feeding pellets on a lake or a fishery, but, but on a proper river when the worst thing that they can eat is a bird from the surface-

Mm
