Jeremy Wade quotes
The human mind doesn't like a vacuum. We will populate that vacuum with the contents of our own head, and often that's scary stuff.
Jeremy Wade
Normally if you are in a boat, you can follow a fish around, but if you are on the shore, you have to pull it.
Jeremy Wade
The great thing about freshwater fish is most of them are incredibly ugly, a lot of them are, so no one can fail to look good next to some of these things.
Jeremy Wade
Fish don't have hands; to investigate, they open their mouth, and sometimes it's someone's foot.

So even if there was a mutation in Loch Ness I still don't think you're going to see a 30ft eel.
Jeremy Wade
But the whole reason I fish is that you never know for sure what is down there. Unless you drained Loch Ness you will never be certain what's living in it.

Jeremy Wade
A river without monsters is a scarier prospect because it means the water is unhealthy.
Jeremy Wade
Fishing is quite a good metaphor for life. You do your prep, you do your thinking, you put your bait out, and you wait, confident that you've done your groundwork. But a lot of life is luck.
Jeremy Wade
It's always the crocodile you don't see you have to worry about.
Jeremy Wade
A fish with a big mouth, like a catfish, they've been known to bite people's legs. Normally not because they're hungry, but because they're protecting a nest or something like that.
Jeremy Wade
Everything starts with fishermen's tales. Everywhere you go the fishermen talk.
Jeremy Wade
Even without the creatures living in it, water is dangerous. We have an ambivalent relationship with water. It's the source of life, it's the source of food, but it's also a source of death, if you're not careful.
Jeremy Wade
I like taking people to a world they wouldn't normally go to and to creatures that a lot of people didn't know existed.
Jeremy Wade
I go to the Congo or the Amazon, but every river has its mystery of what is down there.
Jeremy Wade
Florida's nice and warm, there's all sorts of stuff living there that shouldn't be there!
Jeremy Wade
Fishing as a spectator sport in real time is the most boring thing you can imagine.
