On fishing tackle firm Korda’s YouTube channel, Man City’s Foden said he gets a “buzz” when he lands a catch.
He added: “This is me when I retire. A vlog for fishing.
“When I was around five, my old man would always take me and I have loved it ever since.
“I was just catching whatever really, the smaller fish, then the more times I did it I got into catching the bigger fish, the carp.
“I go to my local places and catch whatever, it’s the buzz, whatever fishing I am doing I enjoy.”
Foden told host Neil Spooner: “At the Euros training camp we had lakes on the golf course.
“I would get the rod out and catch a few carp.”
During the YouTube video, Foden caught a 28lb carp — short of his 39lb record.
