Discover the portrait of Kevin, a key figure on the Feeling Fishing Youtube channel, created 5 years ago with his friend Dedz and now working at The Fisher Box.

Hello Kevin, for those who don't know you, could you briefly introduce yourself?

Hello, my name is Kevin, I'm 30 years old. I now live in Toulouse and I am originally from Narbonne. I am currently working at The Fisher Box

Where did your passion for fishing come from?

So this passion started with Jordan, with whom I still have the Feeling Fishing channel. His parents have a house in Ariège and we tried to fish in the lake by making rotten mounts, and as corn bait. But we didn't really know what we were doing.

What does fishing represent for you today?

Today fishing is a passion but it is not the only one. I try to juggle but it remains my passion for relaxation. I take my rod to go trout, to fish alone with or without fish. Really to de-stress.

What techniques do you practice at the water's edge?

I only fish lures, and particularly trout with artificial lures.

What is your favorite fish?

The trout but also the chub for its ultra fun and exciting fishing.

Can you tell us a bit more about the Feeling Fishing channel and what inspired you to do this with Jordan?

That was 5 years ago. We'd seen a video of "fish and fishermen", and we thought it was strange that a fishing video could make such a splash. fishermen", and we thought it was strange that a fishing video could be so eye-catching. view. So we bought a GoPro, and I did a really not very good tutorial on cranckbait fishing. cranckbait fishing. If anyone's curious, you can find this video at the very beginning of the channel. It did very well in terms of the number of views. and we moved on very quickly.

What is your greatest pride today behind Feeling Fishing?

It is to have succeeded in reaching the level of Feeling Fishing today, because we did it in fun mode and shared passion. Here we are at 70,000 followers while we have slowed down enormously for 1 year. And I'm very proud to have brought together so many people through this channel and our passion.

You also work at The Fisher Box. Can you tell us a bit more about your role at this young start-up?

I take care of all the after-sales service, the management of the E-shop, the marketing campaigns (facebook ads and google adwords), the management of the manufacture of the boxes and the coordination of transport and shipping.

Why did you choose to work at The Fisher Box?

My previous experience was selling in an online fishing store, which helped me choose this start-up. I am quite refractory to large companies where it is difficult to move forward. The Fisher Box with a lot of future. It's very motivating and there are still a lot of things to do to progress. I also add the geographical situation which brings me closer to my origins.

Any future projects you would like to tell us about?

Right now we can't really talk about the future, I'm trying to focus on The Fisher Box and see what the future will tell us.

As a newcomer to our city, what are your impressions of Toulouse and its fishing potential?

I have the advantage of knowing a little bit, and in terms of fishing, the Canal du Midi is stuffed! All species are present and I do not remember having taken a hood on this channel. The Garonne is excellent for larger fish. The Ariège is just next door, for me who likes to fish for trout, I'm served.

Is there a fishing technique you'd like to discover with Rodmaps' fishing guides?

Yes ! A rather old technique which is the handled minnow. Because when I was in Auvergne, I fished with sponsos from WOF who gave me a hard time at the start of the season. I made a fish with lures for fifteen handled minnows.

A fishing anecdote to tell us?

It's indirect with fishing, but if Jordan reads the article, he might laugh! While going fishing in Ariège, a long time ago, he had a magnificent Clio 2 that was all rotten, and stupid as I am, in a straight line I had fun pulling the handbrake on him. Dedz also pull the handbrake but in a turn! Quite logically the tragedy happened. He spun, he managed to park in a big bush without ever managing to get free. We had to call a tow truck.
