7:55Now Playing"He's a self-employed, unpaid, full-time angler."
Nationwide reporter Christopher Rainbow travels to Ireland to meet Ray Webb. Mr Webb has retired, and - like many retirees - plans to do some fishing. In fact, Ray - a.k.a. The Pike King - wants to do nothing but fish.
Ray is just forty-one years old. He worked three jobs simultaneously for a decade in order to accumulate enough money to retire early, and he plans to devote the rest of his life to one simple goal - catching the biggest pike in the world.
Originally broadcast 2 September, 1971.
