@@RicardoGonzalez-gn2jv yes when he picked Charlie up after the mandatory eight weeks quarantine as he was leaving the owner told him based on the shape of the body and facial features she is most likely female. So at this point he knows. In any case, it's a beautiful fish, we can leave it at that. Have a good evening 😊
You lads are a breath of fresh air, I am especially impressed by the humour and ability to diversify. The shots of the Barn owl were amazing. Keep up the good work.
Bloody hell, Alex' barn owl footage is amazing. Also, Omi's drawings are great- illustrations to show flora and fauna in books are so much better than photos.
I realize this is a bit late, but... I'm a handyman. I used to work in construction. You're carpentry skills, for the task you're doing, aren't bad! Give yourself some credit :) I chuckled about the siphon effect on your hose. Don't feel bad, I've been around a bit and, yea. I would likely have been out there having a WTF moment myself. I was puzzled myself, as I was thinking "But, unless they had some fastener going in the pond (and the're not that careless), how could it leak?"
Love this guys, more of the Koi pond please. Omi has real talent, I say that as a fellow artist who still loves to draw, despite most of my time being taken up with large oil paintings. Anyway art aside, love the larger pond idea, shows real love for the fish and hopefully will cause others to think about the fact that some captive fish species will outgrow their artificial environments. Sadly on youtube there are many examples of exotic fish species like Pacu and Arapaima proudly stuffed into aquariums that are way too small for them, you guys are therefore becoming expert aquarists!
You have a beautiful Chagoi, Every pond needs one of those, they're the friendliest Koi you can have. We had one years ago but the upkeep of a koi pond was too much for my dad so he had to sell them off.
Guys, I've said this before, but your combined talents are on another level. Those drawings Omi has done are incredible. The level of detail is right out of the Mr Crabtree books from my childhood. That film of the Barn Owl is as good footage as i've ever seen, even by professional wildlife cameramen/women. Stunningly filmed and edited. Wonderful pond build too. Many young adults of your age are just not interested in any of the traditional country pastimes, but you guys really are inspirational to the next generation of anglers and naturalists. You take me back to the great days of my youth, sitting by a river or lake with huge expectation, watching the dawn mist rise and the first rays of sun appear as the natural world awakes. Spending days out in the countryside watching the foxes, badgers, deer, buzzards. In these dark and uncertain times you have raised the morale of thousands. You deserve 10 million subscribers. Keep it up. Huge thanks and respect for your efforts.
Excellent video, guys! I never thought building a koi pond could look so easy. Been thinking about building one for a while now, but never thought I could do it myself. Thanks for the tips!
Alex filming wildlife quietly enjoying the beauty of birds and also reveling in smashing the slabs of ice was the most satisfying and relatable part of the video. I too have only two speeds; peaceful reverence and abject chaos!
absolutely fantastic video guys. after looking online for what a koi pomd would need a found other videos were pretty rubbish. this was the perfect amount of info, just what i was looking for to peak my interest
The best part of winter is going to a frozen lake, snapping a bit of ice from the margin and throwing it into the middle so it shatters. Best sound in the world
Omi is an incredible artist. I've been drawing and painting fish and wildlife professionally for many years. Her work is next level. Very impressed. Oh yeah nice job on the pond also .
only found this channel today and when i got near the end of the video i shat myself because i though this whole video that it was your dad filming turns out...TWINS xD
I build my Koipont also from wood same as you guys up. Also i went little in ground to create little more balance of the waterpressure on the sides of the wood. Stand allready 3 years all fine and happy Koi. I think personal yes maybe cheap way but solid enough to hold them. And looks nice in garden the wooden pond. Good job guys love it!
The thing I love about watching your videos is that you just never know what what some of the content is going to be. I small film about your fish pond turns into bird watching and head shaving. Brilliant.
Alex suits it to be fair ! Also I beg you guys post more videos, maybe just 1 extra a month. Makes me happy every time I see you’ve posted a new video. Keep it up lads 🙏🏻
This video makes me proud to be British there's something unique about our wildlife, Great video guys keep up the good work and say hi to Charlie for me.
Making a pond from sleepers is a really good and quick way to make a pond. I am a landscaper and we do this a lot when a customer wants and pond or a water feature. A lot of the time we also install water walls with this style of pound it's a good finishing touch to the pond and also oxygenates the water really well. Keep up the good work lads another good video
Well done Boyz ! Great work ! Fancy filling up the pond and then syphoning it all out during the night !! Hahaha what a wombat, luckily totally redeemed himself with the rain water contraption ! Haha.. love it
Thanks for the entertainment lads need it during lockdown . Just an old fisherman fish keeper and pond keeper . Will be buying the book mainly for the beautiful art work 👍
There not Tradesmen , so there obviously just using the Tools that they’ve got to hand , it’s called a “ Combi Drill “ for a reason 1. Drilling Metal / Wood 2.Drilling Masonry and 3. Driving in Screws and Fixings using the Torque settings.
Stuck in Beijing because of pandemic, except studying at home, I just wait for your videos. If there is no new video, I simply watch ur old videos. Nice work guys , lots love and respect from China....... :)
The book is a great idea. We need more recruits to the angling life. The old classic publications are great but are from another time, and fishing is always moving forward.
How would I be able to send you his recent catches from are local Canal. His dedication is clear to see, Summer some great carp he’s caught & Pike & perch on lure, Watching your videos inspired him to try Deadbait, With the lockdown we could only go to are local canal, The rivers are flooded up north, We ended up with a big Surprise, Shocked that a 22lb 8oz pike was in are local canal 😀one very happy Boy👍
Fantastic, lads. You do make me smile. Some great barn owl footage! Well done. There’s so many similarities between fishing and wildlife photography. Always looking forward to your next film. Take care and stay safe.
It’s such a good feelin when I see use two have posted. For someone who loves everything to do with wildlife this is the best Chanel. Also the photography/videography is unbelievable
Can’t wait until the next pond video! Amazing drawings from Omi and hopefully Alex’s hair will grow back soon! We’ll done to all of you for making everyone’s day better!
The Owl is my spirit animal. Barn owls are the most unique.....they can literally hover over their pray....and they are silent when the flap their wings.....beautiful birds.
Thoroughly enjoyed this, lads. Love the mixture of content throughout, especially Alexs' Wildlife escapade. It blows my mind how your production quality has improved over the years. Can't wait for the next one.
Great video guys as always, I love this homestead videos they're cool... and I most like how real you are and you're not trying to hide it or edit it, you put everything in your videos and that is what makes it real and why I keep following you! You rock guys and you did a wonderful job on this project, can't wait to see the end result. Plus Omi is super talented, her drawings are amazing! You really need to think about selling some prints in your merch store. Keep it up guys, you are the best!
Apparently I am interested in Koi...I had no idea I was but after watching your video on your trip to Japan....yeah, I'm now a koi lover....who knew🤷🏾♀️ Charlie is growing quite beautifully 😍 by the way.
Really Talented outdoorsmen. Awesome shots of the owl. I'd almost forgot about your Koi pond. Great illustrations for your fishing guide too....drawing fish is not easy. Great video lads. Thanks 👍
Fantastic video. Love the birds. That was interesting too about the filter media. I keep tropical fish so use media in my filters. Ceramic stuff. Very entertaining chaps and Dad 👍👍
Your Illustrations in the book are amazing- frugal, effective and beautiful. I will be looking forward to this book- even if I live in the US 😉 Knowing the process will be worth the purchase to me 😊
@@fishwithcarl Ooo watched another video and already ordered it, bros! :) If you ever want to reach out to a more digital angling audience, let me know! We'll get you a Carp Lord Pack DLC for Fishing Planet and fish for some monsters! ;) The Fishing Planet community would love it!
I randomly ran into your video about the most expensive koi. Charlie is a good boi so I wanted to see how he was doing. So glad he is thriving.
Charlie is female.
@@dthompson1313 they probably didn’t know that cuz he doesn’t even find out shes a girl till hes back from Japan and even that’s months later
@@RicardoGonzalez-gn2jv yes when he picked Charlie up after the mandatory eight weeks quarantine as he was leaving the owner told him based on the shape of the body and facial features she is most likely female.
So at this point he knows.
In any case, it's a beautiful fish, we can leave it at that. Have a good evening 😊
exact same situation here too haha
Same
This channel is so cozy. Idk why every video just leaves me soothed.
same
Feels a bit like briish telly
It’s the wholesome British accents and the chilly scenery
It's the fishies and their love for them.
Yh I enjoy watching too
Omi is definitely a talented artist.
Incredible. The illustrations are so accurate.
Her eye for detail is amazing
Extremely
Never mind the book, I want s set of prints to frame for my walls!
Really very talented
the colouring of the shots with the owl were absolutely stunning
You lads are a breath of fresh air, I am especially impressed by the humour and ability to diversify. The shots of the Barn owl were amazing. Keep up the good work.
Those 6 dislikes are probobly kid who don't understand how hard it is and how much effort it takes to make videos keep up the good work guys
or people who think that keeping pets is slavery
Or it could be the family down the road who woke up to 400 litres of water in their garage

Yh I think that 2
Ahh thanks guys :)
@@mikehunt-cx2vg nice name
It fits really well
Thats not even bald
Wow omi’s drawings are insane, i would buy it just for the drawings, there incredible🤩
Absolutely, they are incredible
I knew you guys would resort to bird watching eventually. It is the final stage to becoming an all round nature maniac.
Shout out to the parents
You should be proud of these boys ✌🏼⭐️
Bloody hell, Alex' barn owl footage is amazing. Also, Omi's drawings are great- illustrations to show flora and fauna in books are so much better than photos.
That owl footage was really cool. Also sand with the grain when using a belt sander 🙃
Think he went cross grain to keep the sawdust out of the pond. Maybe sand first then install. Haha

Omi's art is phenomenal, definately buying your book when its released. So excited.
"...and she made 2 legends, Jeihhhhh!!!"
you 2 are adorable, keep on making great videos!
You have a beautiful Chagoi, Every pond needs one of those, they're the friendliest Koi you can have. We had one years ago but the upkeep of a koi pond was too much for my dad so he had to sell them off.
Imagine just spending 1 week with them would be so calming
I just want to thank Carl and Alex for helping people get through these tough times and for making great videos. THANKS.
Alex new haircut and jumper combo reminds me of when Neo gets released from the Matrix for the first time
Drawings are unreal!!! Top work 🙌🏻 excited for the book release and many more videos to come!
Let’s goo been waiting all week for this so excited

Hi Paul,
Thank you for the lovely comment!! Means a lot it really does.
I couldn't wait for this upload and this video makes me want to have a koi pond in my garden because I wanted one for a year
Excellent video, guys! I never thought building a koi pond could look so easy. Been thinking about building one for a while now, but never thought I could do it myself. Thanks for the tips!
What a wholesome and well made video!
Alex filming wildlife quietly enjoying the beauty of birds and also reveling in smashing the slabs of ice was the most satisfying and relatable part of the video. I too have only two speeds; peaceful reverence and abject chaos!
😂 it’s always chaotic filming with Alex!!
Thank your dad for me, he did a banging job packaging my stickers and poster!
You guys are awesome, great mix of projects and family. Sharing your lives together and with others. Well done Carl & Alex
Carl and Alex all I have to say it thank you ❤️❤️
Wow! keep up your brotherly relationship and family bonding. Goodluck and more power to your channel.
Yay a koi pond update and also Alex got some cool shots of that barn owl😁
How can you generally dislikes these videos ? You guys are my inspiration , for what got me into fishing three years on and I'm addicted to it .
lumber has become so expensive in the us recently
also, his head looks fantastic.
absolutely fantastic video guys. after looking online for what a koi pomd would need a found other videos were pretty rubbish. this was the perfect amount of info, just what i was looking for to peak my interest
Thanks so much. Glad you got something from it,.
Alex has just gain my most respect for headbutting the sheet of ice LMAO

Thanks so much Sean.
You've got the bug, it only gets worse😂😂

Looking forward to the book launch guys! Omi is an amazing artist. Alex cracks me up, we all need a friend like that.
Thanks so much Jay!
You should sell Omi’s painting in your merch shop!
Definitely. Have some prints made. They're exceptionally good.
You two are the ones who got me into coarse fishing 2 years ago and I am now in love with it for that I owe you
Great to hear!

Omi needs her own channel doin the drawings, amazing
That’s a shout dude would be awesome
Just watched the other two videos with Charlie and having not the best day atm so this is really exciting to see on my home page! Thanks guys
Hope you enjoyed it!
I had to chuckle about the syphoning. I’ve seen it happen more than I care to admit.
Classic mistake .. me too
I just did it with my aquarium last month. Soaked my wood floor!!
The thing I love about watching your videos is that you just never know what what some of the content is going to be. I small film about your fish pond turns into bird watching and head shaving. Brilliant.
Cheers! Thank you Kevin.
Haha, we like to keep you guessing! :)
I'm 45 and I shave my head every week. It looks good on you so don't worry about it.
Alex suits it to be fair ! Also I beg you guys post more videos, maybe just 1 extra a month. Makes me happy every time I see you’ve posted a new video. Keep it up lads 🙏🏻
haha the head shave reminded me of the matrix scene when he firsts gets his done
In my opinion use will go down in history as some of the greatest fishermen there is love the vids keep up the hard work lads 💯
Alex looks like he should be in Trainspotting with that Barnet🤣
This video makes me proud to be British there's something unique about our wildlife,
Great video guys keep up the good work and say hi to Charlie for me.

Well done Boyz ! Great work ! Fancy filling up the pond and then syphoning it all out during the night !! Hahaha what a wombat, luckily totally redeemed himself with the rain water contraption ! Haha.. love it
Well in England you have enough Rain to fill those Ponds.
Brilliant video as always guys! Omi artwork is fantastic
Alex do not be humiliated your hair is just fine.
Thanks for the entertainment lads need it during lockdown . Just an old fisherman fish keeper and pond keeper . Will be buying the book mainly for the beautiful art work 👍
Anyone else notice they're using a combi drill instead of an impact driver to put the screws in aha
Yea makes complete sense to spend another £100+ on a decent impact just todo a few odd jobs 😂 it’s called combi for a reason !!
There not Tradesmen , so there obviously just using the Tools that they’ve got to hand , it’s called a “ Combi Drill “ for a reason 1. Drilling Metal / Wood 2.Drilling Masonry and 3. Driving in Screws and Fixings using the Torque settings.
Same almost the population , aha

The book is a great idea. We need more recruits to the angling life. The old classic publications are great but are from another time, and fishing is always moving forward.
"Or aliens!"
