Graham or 'G' as is is sometimes known has been a regular on the cat scene for quite sometime and is known for his love of catfish rig development and bait experimentation, all of which he combines with his is role in Team CatPro.

Graham also runs the Facebook Page Catfish Warriors and enjoys helping anglers new to catting. Most of Graham's catting is practised around his home county of Essex although he happily travels much further in the hunt for his favouite species.

Recently Graham has started venturing abroad for his catfishing and is currently targetting a monster from the River Po in Italy.
