Forgive me for stating the obvious, but wouldn't playing a fish on a step ladder potentially be;
a.) Extremely unsafe for the angler.
b.) A serious risk for the angler of looking like an absolute tw@t.
?

I remember 1 guy doing this at Darenth in the late 1980’s when the lake was low and the bars were shallow.
The fish seemed fine when landed.

I've used a step ladder for fish spotting, I got enough funny looks for that. I wouldn't dream if playing a fish from one.

I hate H&S but owners allowing it...where there's blame and all that...but at least it's not a bait boat !

Yeah, to get a better angle when playing fish over shallow bars.

On B1 though. No bars there
I assume they were using long zigs

Saw this. It’s during a match. Assuming it’s due to bars and the speed they want to get the fish in.

Fishing over shallow water & close range gravel bars to try to limit cut offs?

20ft zigs?

Now I had a few ciders last night, so this could have been a really bad dream.
But I'm sure I saw some YouTube melt running up a set of step ladders to play a fish whilst his mate landed it.
Is this really a thing? Please tell me it was just a bad dream
