When I was 11 I walked into a proper tackle shop for the first time, after staring at eveything on the shelves while my parents done their weeks shop, I left and on a little table was Korda's 'Carp, Tackle, Tactics & Tips - Volume 5'. The cover took my notice because I had never seen a 70lb carp, I had only ever fished canals prior to that-catching roach and perch. This DVD blew my mind, I had watched John Wilson and Matt Hayes when I was even younger, but nothing had ever made me want to get out fishing more. I am now 20 and still addicted to carp fishing, with absolutely no intentions of stopping. Thanks to Danny and the rest of the guys at Korda.

Respect to Dan. He's put more into fishing over the years than he's taken out and will leave a legacy. Korda is one of the success stories of our sport and that should be celebrated.

should be proud of what hes achieved and how hes moved carp fishing forward fully deserved success

still remember when he used to deliver his leads to our shop him and his dad doing the rounds. top bloke always looking to help people and with the embryo carp project making lakes fishable on a decent price. genuine guy with plenty of time for anglers when you meet him.

Danny, I am from Romania and I have to say that you're my fishing guru. I didn't have someone to teach me how to fish for carp. I've watched all of your dvd's and shows. By watching them, you became my teacher. So, I have to thank you for every carp I catch, and dedicate all my PB's to you! Cheers mate!

Top Bloke, what Dan and the team have done for us and the industry is unbelievable. My understanding of carp fishing is far better since watching the shows and putting what I've learnt into action and catching PBs. Thanks Korda.👏

I’m lucky enough to have fished with Danny and some of the Korda guys due to my job. I can defiantly say after meeting him and spending 48 hours with him, he is 100% genuine. Why people troll those that make money out of fishing I’ll never understand. In America he’d be praised but yet in England it’s almost dirty to earn a profit, I really struggle to understand that mentality. Keep up the good work everyone at Korda and nice one Elliot for putting this out for free 👍🏻

Mr fairbrass I have the upmost respect for u and all your team. I’ve had the honour of fishing with Neil spooner a few times and he’s a gentleman and speaks very highly of you. If people have something negative to say that’s them just saying i wish I was you Danny. You deserve every penny you have earned from your baby. Hope u have so much more success for Korda and hope to see you on the screen for many years to come.

A top gaffer. You’re only as good as your staff. All muck in, no i in team, but if you look i AM there. That’s the number one trait of a top boss, LISTENING to all of the lads and lasses. And taking everyones opinion to move the TEAM forward. TOGETHER. 😎

Me and my Partner met Dan at the Northern Angling Show this year, I can not believe the amount of time he set to side to have an in depth chat about the shared passion! Fantastic guy!

Yes get in.Once went to a show in Doncaster at a pub called my grandfathers moustache and afterwards there was a guy with three boxes of leads trying to sell them.Look at what he’s achieved and what a lovely humble man he is.Well done Danny.

Very Interesting listening to Danny. I am one who I guess has fallen into the trap of guessing what a person is like in this industry. Dan seems very down to earth and seems to have kept that way. Sadly some I’ve noticed have started out nice people and have clearly changed since being successful in fishing. Fair play to Danny

Comes across as a really down-to-earth bloke, thoughtful and humble. Top man. Thanks for this.

Meet Danny at the big one when korda Was just making out on the carp tackle he had time for use on his stand and helping with advice. He had respect for anglers who were fishing before him . And still does . He has brought so much to carp angling and helping us on the way . Keep going mate the team you have are all top anglers and korda are top notch .

Absolute legend- so humble in his success- THANK YOU for everything you do for the sport And if you read these comments ( which you say you don’t ) Don’t listen to the negativity or bitter comments, it’s mainly jealousy from someone who will achieve nothing from life. GET IN

Danny I’ve met you twice and on both occasions you have been down to earth very friendly and a true gentleman. The the trouble with keyboard warriors is that sat behind a keyboard they don’t understand a smack in the mouth. Keep doing what you’re doing.

Never thought of anything like Danny says people think of him. Maybe they do but in my eyes Danny is a top fella and done so much for carp fishing. You the man dan. TEAM KORDA

Respect dan for your dedication to improve angler's tactics and overall carp care whilst pulling off the entertaining videos over the years 👏 bless you my lad andall the guy's making carp fishing better.

Brilliant. Top man, Top Ethos. One Love and "Tight Lines" to ALL

Really enjoyed that fair play to him 👏🏻👏🏻

Great video and what a down to earth bloke. Can clearly see his motive. Hats off to the guy for changing the carp fishing world. Hope to meet him one day.

Nice to see Danny infront of the camera! Inspirational man! Keep going and doing what you love 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Fascinating viewing and fair play to him......he clearly loves his job. Awesome...

Great insight very humbling also very refreshing to see, to many people out there let success go to there heads nice to see it's the little things that still make the biggest impact. I'm quite new to fishing I fished over thirty years ago when I was a kid, how things have changed, my knowledge of fishing was putting a maggot or worms on a hook with a float throw that in the water then sit and hope, after seeing all the new bits of tackle in my local shop it all seemed a little daunting i didn't really know where to start so I jumped on KZfaq and started watching Korda videos along with a few others but mostly Korda ones, from starting to fish again around 6 month ago knowing pretty much nothing to now knowing what kit to buy what rigs to use what baits try and what tactics to implement it's all come from watching your videos on KZfaq they've helped me immensely as well as being fun to watch. My PB is 21lb 11 at the moment I hope to beat that sometime soon but to be honest it doesn't matter how big they are i get a massive buzz whatever I put on the bank, great work guys keep it going and thank you.

Great interview with one of the legends & true pioneers of our wonderful sport. Top class businessman & and even better angler hats off to you sir 👏👏👏👏👏

What a nice bloke, hat off to you dan you and Korda have done more for me and my fishing than any other man. Thanks Dan

What a nice bloke who’s gives everything back! Good video a real eye opener.

Always love to hear Dan the man speak respect to you Dan I don't care what the haters think you are a top guy.

I've been fishing for over 30 years and Dan's terminal tackle is absolutely 100 percent the best I've ever used ,I use his hooks lead clips ,line everything is top quality - keep up the good work dan 👌👍

Good for you Danny Well done and keep going in the right direction

A genuine normal bloke with ambition and determination surrounding himself with like minded friends and colleagues is clearly a winning formula and he deserves his rewards. Great peice of film.

Respect ! Seems like a genuinely nice grounded guy, good for you Danny

the guy is a legend in carp fishing and as i have met him in person hes a really nice bloke and has done so much for carp fishing well done danny well done

Always liked Danny. Brilliant angler and never understood people who dislike him. Keep up the good work...

I am just a regular family guy, met Danny on Wellington country Park in 2010, i was in Hole In The Bush swim ( had the money to join for a few seasons, skint now so on canals haha ) , he walked in had a nice chat and then asked to BORROW my marker rod as he had forgotten his, lol proper down to earth salt of the earth chap, pity other's cant be more like him and myself, haters gonna hate .......... and blank unhappy irl , best wishes to all in the New Year !!!!!! Hope you all have good luck and happy times, life is too short for sh@t houses !!! Glasses half FULL for 2020 !!

Danny you already a legend man. Keep going and keep strong 💪

This is was a very refreshing video showing that Danny is a decent bloke and hardworking, I have been buying the hooks and leads for many years now and for me they are the best on the market and really enjoyed the original underwater series and a Korda video from many years back with Danny and Terry Hearn floater fishing ...... respect.

Top man. Really appreciate what you have done for our sport 👍

Man a legend what he's done in the carp fishing world

Plenty of respect for Dan, done it all the hard way. Would love to work for Korda and don't think You'd find a better down to earth boss and family team! Keep up the great work guys & girls 👌

I’ve loved fishing for many years and I’ve watched many dvds but nothing affected me more than the underwater series, it was absolutely ground breaking and a hell of a lot of fantastic tackle from all the fishing tackle companies came from that footage and you’ve got to be so proud of that

A very good interview from a top carp fishermen 🎣 old school a nice person fair play to Danny's success in carp fishing career 👍 👌 from Ben

What a great interview, really enjoyed watching this, Danny’s views and opinions are spot on. 👍

Great interview with a top bloke. I think people outside of fishing would learn a thing or two watching this.

Got to respect Danny.. hats of to you sir keep up the good work pal

Changed my Point of view over Danny🤟🏻Very nice Interview!

Big respect the guy I’ve learnt everything off this man and I wish I had abit off his confidence to become known in the fishing community even just in my own town

Well done dan I personally can not fault you and your attitude to business you have come such a long way from the days of driving from tackle shop to shop selling your leads back in the day ...... well done to you and your team and sod the haters ......jealously is a horrible emotion Keep up the good work 👏👏

Just really send my best wishes to you Danny boy......love your team....xxx

Danny a top lad who has made a positive mark on the sport thanks danny thanks korda

Once had a week fishing at gigantica when Danny was fishing, very down to earth and helpful.

1000% legend much respect

You've done brilliant Dan keep going mate

Really enjoyed this video, I love Danny‘s views on equality throughout his company. And it is very interesting to hear that Danny done two weeks bailiffing on his own water, which included cleaning toilet showers ECT It’s always a sign of a good governor to get his hands dirty and do the jobs that his employees are employed to do.

I have been watching and learning everything I can about Korda products and interviews over the past couple of years, everything I buy is pretty much Korda-mainline as I have seen how successful it has been for all you guys at Korda. I can’t wait to get beat my PB in the near future and it will be all down to you guys and all the tips you give out on your videos. I am defiantly booking a fishing trip to Gigantica in the next 12 months or so….thank you for doing the things you do to ensure everyone has an opportunity to catch some real monster carp! I think your a very humble man and I would love to have a couple of days fishing with you, that would be a dream come true. I hope all is well Mr fairbrass your a true fishing legend!!

With out a dought the empire Danny boy.....love you fella got you back fella....xxx

Well Done and thank you

Top man... what a decent bloke....

Superb insight into Danny. Good man taking pleasure out of working with the Korda team as opposed to selling out an counting out money with no quality control over the products they produce... And to put something back into angling lakes helping waters protect against predation (otters) embryo. Top man with top principles... 👏🎣👏

What a down to earth boss all the best for 2020 🎣🎣

Wish every boss was like dan.you are a legend with everything you have done in carp fishing mate it is were it is now because of the likes of you. merry xmas korda would love to work in a company like this. Thanks

What a true scholar and a gentleman 👏 and a pain in the arse didn't really have an interest in carp fishing until I saw this man on film then what can I say can't turn back and won't love every day on the bank landing them beautiful carp

Your a top humble bloke Danny merry Xmas to you and all your staff KR Gaz

Really enjoyed this.

the guy is a true legend, very down to earth, would love to fish alongside him, top bloke

The guy is an absolute unit!

Inspirational

Top geezer it's good see a British success story, we hate winners in this country so there'll always be haters. This man helps a lot of people pay their way in life so best wishes to him. Personally I don't use any korda tackle all my gear is nash so I'm a neutral on the subject. Keep on doing it and tight lines and wet nets to you all for the new year.

Great insight. :) loved it. keep up the good work guys. :) :)

Top top angler and given so much to the carp fishing community, dont understand why he has got so much stick. Keep it going danny.

Lots of respect to Dan. Just a normal bloke try his best. Well done dan for all you do for everyone

Great interview

This guy has helped angling today . His safety standards on fish . He's brought the angling industrial to a level where we want to be on the bank. Those non anglers would love to stop the sport . Saying stupid words . Thanks to Danny and korda for putting us up their . Without their work I wouldn't think I would be angling .

What a great guy 👌👍

Danny you’re a basic down to earth person with a decent honest heart, don’t beat yourself up with haters comments.. They’re just jealous cos you persisted with it, and made a success of it… Good Nice Man..( Not gay)..

Quite a few times we’ve bumped into the Korda guys on essex lakes and they’re more than happy just to chat and answer a few questions , nice bunch

Danny is very humble and never struck me as the founder of Korda. In fact I watched him for a long time not knowing that he was the inventor of one of the biggest brands in fishing. He just doesn't act the way you'd assume someone of great success would. Reminds me of a modern day John Wilson.

Tbh the first thing that came to mind was David Brent lol. Cracked me up, enjoyed it 👍

Nice one Danny G 🥰🎄🎄🥰🎄 have a great Christmas to you and your staff and family

What a top bloke hat off to u 👍👍👍

I'm a small business owner but nothing on the scale of Danny's and its not easy at all, your mind is business mode the majority of the time. No doubt he's worked hard from day 1 and still does work hard so fair play to him, it's good that's he's grounded and not changed. He's pushed carp fishing forward with products and films and I will be honest I'm not a fan of everything he does but that's just my opinion and i wouldn't call the guy over. Cool insight into his life, cheers for the vid.

Love Danny fairbrass one of my dreams to fish with him one day

Man is a Legend

Top man.

He has always come across very well and knows how to build a successful business. Great leader...and a self confessed chilled out entertainer ;-). Maybe he can do the Office dance in the future on camera for us?

Really nice to see Danny away from the lake to talk about his employees his company and himself I thought it was a revealing insight into Danny’s day to day living. When he was talking about the guy who phoned him to moan about leads I think you could see he did get upset by it although he shrugged it off and yes some Korda products are more expensive but I will still use them as I don’t think there is anything better.so carry on developing new products carry on filming because I will keep watching and will keep buying your products. Best regards Lee

One of the most humble men that's accomplished what he has that Ive ever met!! A true gentleman

Top top bloke!

Really enjoyed this. fug the haters

Big respect for DF. Ive never understood all the negative stuff shown to him, but i guess it comes with the job. I dont know him personally ,but anyone who does what he has done ,and still remains humble deserves everything they get. The bloke deserves a knighthood for services to angling

Legend

Self made massive respect sir

Guna get stick when youre at the top of the game, weve all got a bit if not alot of korda tackle in our armoury, and for that reason alone he deserves all the respect you can give him.

I have always thought of you Dan as a Good man never mind all the money Success I have never felt that about you your just a good guy Thanks Mate just be you

Fished next to him many a year ago at Holyfields top bloke

People might think "who's this guy constantly pushing all these different bits of tackle on us and why not just keep it simple" and I did once if I'm honest but I was wrong too. He's provided anglers with education, options of how to fish (which you don't have to try) and given people employment opportunities globally. Oh and the tackles great.

Pity there’s some small - minded people commenting on here about when you put milk in the tea. I guess they’ve got nothing else to offer. Next week they’ll be asking for a job or a free trip to Gigantica. Well done Dan….your a credit to the fishing industry and no-one can take that from you. Stay well !!

Nice guy, great business man, great success. A touch of humble brag but not surprising given the online trolls, given he wont sell his business for multiple times what its worth is testament to that he is a complete fishing nut. Not personally a Korda fan but as a business their accounts are literally unbelievable

He's a normal genuine person just like me and you

id love danny to create some waters up hear in scotland
