'That's the highlight of my summer holiday'said the young fan on the bank. This is the impact your escapades and adventures have on people, and if you make it pay so it can be a living, that's the exact definition of living the dream. Such a professional production, I can only imagine the time it took to edit and pull in the final finished piece. Huge well done mate, a truly epic production Carl, and a fabulous watch from this end. 😊
@@fishwithcarlhi Carl my son is obsessed with fishing and your his favourite UA-camr , you’ve inspired him to make his own UA-cam channel with his best mate which has taken great amount of courage with him being autistic, was wondering if you have any tips at all ?? And if you could potentially help bring a few eyes onto his channel thanks for your time
I think I’ve said this multiple times but the best part of this channel is just how open, honest and genuine you are. There’s no BS, no gimmicks, just you, your friends, family and your own struggle and successes. Incredible as always mate. You inspire me and many others a little more with each video
The videos are TV quality and the honesty is brilliant But the best bit was the kid saying "This is the highlight of my summer holidays" Please take notice of that. You are changing kids lives and that's awesome Including my 8 year old daughter . Well done for being a brilliant role model
Honestly, this film is on another level in so many ways; the music throughout is just spot on, the emotion and way you convey the potential dangers of obsession, the whole dam thing.....brilliant, just brilliant and well worth the wait!
Just another straight up masterpiece of a film Carl. Honestly the journey you manage to take us on is just so special. The work rate and dedication so admirable. Look after yourself and I hope today you also have the warm feeling of pride to go with releasing this film to us lucky viewers. Amazing.
Hello Carl I’ve been watching you for a fair few years and I love your videos your movies just everything is perfect and I thank you for helping my mental health and to not be ashamed or made fun of for fishing.
This is the rollercoaster we ride, I'm on it at the moment. Deep silt, loads of weeds, low stocks, it's made me feel like a complete novice. Like you I'll beat it eventually. Keep on doing it Carl, all the best.
There truly is something magical about what you produce Carl. I love fishing, I love carp, I love the outdoors, I love nature and you bring everything together harmoniously every time! Please take better care of yourself, I’d hate to not have more vlogs to watch! Take a bow sir 👏👏👏
Found that all a little overwhelming, the way the story was told,the way it was shot, your determination to just keep going really made it feel like we were on the bank next to you! So made up for you mate, gave me goosebumps and witnessed you go through every emotion possible. By far some ov the best editing that you've done to date.
There are few fishing classics I can think of… A Passion for Angling being one of them… this video was right up there for me! Such a professional body of work, an absolute masterpiece.. thanks Carl 🙏🏼
That's just breathtaking.. Filming, editing, storytelling, struggles, choices, sacrifices and all the things combined were absolutely worth the long wait. Well done, Carl, mega mega quality movie this one is.
I've been watching for probably 3 years now, and I never watch a video without experiencing true appreciation for your skills in storytelling. There's nothing more relaxing to me than a morning cup of coffee and putting on a video of yours. Plus, as someone just diving into angling myself, seeing your passion for it always makes me want to get out on the water and drop a line in. Thank you for bringing us along with you Carl, and tight lines (and plenty of water 😂).

Absolutely incredible from start to finish mate! If this film doesn’t inspire people to follow your “obsession” then I don’t know what will! Should be super proud 💪🏼
Great video Carl, one of the best narratives yet! You really have a talent for storytelling and you're a great role model for younger people getting into the sport - if we ignore your hydration habits 😂
51:54 What an incredible moment! Witnessing the excitement of landing a PB and the camaraderie among anglers is truly heartwarming. The sheer joy and disbelief on the angler’s face is infectious-it reminds us all why we love this sport. This part is a highlight for me; it beautifully encapsulates the thrill of fishing!
Mate I absolutely love this, I’ve seen every carp angling video in the world but this was so enjoyable ! So honest and real and good fun and not promotional just a great guy, a good angler, some top fish and some great camera shots. I love the whole format your videos, you are becoming an absolute favourite mate 👊🏻
Amazing video Carl! Truly happy you caught the mirror, gutted you didn’t get the common you set out for. Glad you’ve found passion and worked through obsession. This ParkLake campaign video has got to be one of your best yet! Well worth the wait! Bravo!
genuinely feels like i’m watching a full crew channel 4 documentary, the way you tell a story, the cinematics, the main stream shots and the physical emotions are amazing. i’ve watched the channel for a long time and to watch it grow to what it is now is insane and im so happy for you. tight lines and all the best in the future carl. just remember, health first fish after! 😂
The catfish in Switzerland now are massive like massive massive and the pike have grown to a ridiculous size and I’ve been seeing some massive carp at the river Thielle
If there is just one video on UA-cam that can give a carp angler the motivation to get out there again then this is the one! I’ve watched this several times and it never fails to inspire me!
Wow! What a film! Sensational storytelling, tension, drama, pain, elation and pure joy while on a personal journey of discovery through obsession turning to passion. And the carp weren’t too bad either 😉 You’ve grown Carl! Keep enjoying the process Bud. Definitely the best film I’ve watched this year. Big hugs 🤗
That film... that film right there...!!!! You need to be winning awards!! Absolute class carl!!! I'm amazed how far you've come. Brilliant should be proud of yourself.
The ups and downs of Carp fishing, the young lad saying to you, "This is the best part of my holiday" melted my heart, hope you realise just how powerful you, your videos, grit and dedication to Angling enspires Anglers of all ages, keep it up bud ❤
That Scott bloke seems like a descent fella 😄I used to live up that way! In fact I fished a few waters there but not Willen, Those fish have grown on since then. Jimmy must've put you on to that one?! I remember a video he did of that place! That common had me welling up man?! What's that all about?? 😄 Another great video Carl! And long may it continue! Content of this quality is few and far between these days it seems.
Scott's a fascinating guy and someone I grew much closer to in a relatively short amount of time. Big respect for his help with this campaign. And thanks for watching, glad it gave you the feels like it did for me!
Simply breathtaking storytelling particularly around the 40:00-45:00 mark. The emotion, anticipation and heartbreak were all there. I felt Carl’s obsession myself. Carl, you are an amazing storyteller my friend.
@@fishwithcarl Next time you're in the area, send me a message and I'll happily bring ya some grub, I only live down the road from MK, Northampton. I use MK Angling Direct a fair bit myself.
@@fishwithcarl that probably it because some of the chapters are like “never pick up a hitchhiker”. But either way love your content and I have watched nearly all of you videos cheers mate👍
You are doing an incredible job Carl! I love watching your videos, and along the way seeing your grow mentally and physically brings me joy but also confidence, that there are honest, dedicated and driven people still out there.
Great video Carl! Stunning fish and hard earned! I'm 46 years old now and it took me a long time to control my obsessions. I've been obsessed with fishing several times and indeed some of my other hobbies. When I feel myself thinking about only one thing and believing that's the only thing that can bring me joy or satisfaction, I know from experience that the end point is almost always disillusion, burnout and a loss of joy. I still love my fishing because I don't do it all the time. I sometimes let the obsession monster out for a two week campaign of pre-baiting and fishing, but once it works or fails I back off again. Balance is a bloody hard thing to achieve. We all get it wrong sometimes. Look after yourself.
So glad you didn't drop a rig under its nose, it wouldn't have been fishing, just selecting your prize, it would have been a hollow victory that would have undermind all of the hard work and blanked sessions, and most importantly through this film you have shown those young anglers you met on the bank that hard work and not taking the easy road will eventually pay off and that celebrating others victories can also bring you joy as an angler, epic journey, beautiful film, well done Carl👍
Wow what a show, no one can compete with your content, even my mum who isn’t into fishing one bit watches your shows and says they are all brilliant. Can’t wait for the next one. Stay healthy.
Genuinely the best campaign vlog I think I’ve ever seen. A great watch, and even better result. The camera work, cinematography, and your angling ability is next level. Well done Carl 👏
Absolutely insane...between the production quality, your personality, the trial and tribulations of the mental aspect and personal health. Not to mention the perseverance of continuing on and catching that incredible mirror. I have no doubt you will one day catch the big common, but its important to slow down and appreciate what you've already accomplished in the meantime. Please take time to enjoy your friends and family! Thanks as always Carl!
Every video I'm like "this is it, he can't make a video better than this...". But you did it again! Unbelievable, the fishing, the shots, the storytelling, but most of al the insight. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent! Thanks for sharing. Carp fishing here in the US, especially in New York, is so underrated but for those of us who do target them it's incredible. Seeing Alex and Omi was an added bonus.
Carl, you are a great filmmaker and storyteller. Illnes, moral dilemas, neglect of duties, i'm speachless as to how one can make such an emotionally charged film about fishing.
That was pure magic Carl. I’ve been watching you and your brother since you started posting videos and, although I gave up fishing for other passions several years ago, I still enjoy these videos. This one was an absolute belter 👌👌👌
Your videos are always a fantastic watch Carl but, as many of the comments reflect, this perhaps more than most other fishing videos, brilliantly captures the sentiments of all of us who love fishing. Delighted that you continue to make such great films for us to enjoy.
Just amazing. Goes to show if you put in the work you will get the reward. I used to fish almost every weekend 6-7 years ago & I think this has just gave me the itch to get back out on the banks. Cheers mate keep up the great videos 🎣💚
This has to be without doubt your best film yet - not only the dedication to so many different camera angles but the entire process. Expressing your honest thoughts throughout it all, the commiment to it all despite so many set backs. Showing a younger and older audience that hard work does pay off and there is no easy way round it. But to keep it all this composed is honestly incredible, a true credit to yourself. Let's not forget that this is a full hour of top tier fishing content for FREE. The futures bright, the futures fish with Carl
Amazing work carl. Watching you and alex grow up and enjoying yourselves is what life is all about. There are many people who dream about what you have done but you've proven that its all down to hard work. Well done buddy.
Im a match angler .. the video had me on the edge of my seat with everything crossed for you.. to realise the obsession was taking over the passion was your biggest achievement... we all do it in normal life for that job house car holiday..... sometimes we just all need to wind back and enjoy the true things that matter... to see another with the same passion achievement their dream and to be made up for them makes you a true gent...
Wanna start of by saying i'm not a carper angler at all. Predatory fish only. But you're content as well as with you're brother was and is a joy to watch. Such devotion and honesty. A couple of wholesome guys making the best of every situation. Giving hope to every angler to never give up and chase you're dream (fish). Keep up the good work, enjoy the journey, and lots of support here from the Netherlands.
Incredible stuff Carl, having a job that puts you under the 1% can often be taken for granted, sometimes we have to stop to take a look at how far we’ve come and how privileged we are to be doing what we’re doing and then the enjoyment is so easy to come by. Well done mate, that mirror is INSANE!!
I have been glued to your channel for past couple of weeks and its giving me that itch to get back into fishing again, I've not fished for about 20 years but you're videos keep me itching to get back out there and catch some really nice fish. Keep it up I look forward to your next adventure where ever that may be 👍👍
That was incredible. I'm not even an angler (yet) and by the end I'd gone through the highs and the lows of the adventure and shed more than a few tears. Beautiful stuff. Thank you.
Such a mega film, one of the best of 2024 somebody give this man a carp Oscar 🎉 what a journey the sacrifices we make for carp fishing is unbelievable my hat is off to you Carl, keep up the great work ❤
Simply put an amazing film, the passion, the tribulations and the love is there to see for all. After a 3 month break from angling myself this film has sparked a fire 🔥
Much love Carl ❤ that mirror was a belter and I love the fact you lost that fish and you still kept it together and managed to take some pics with your fans. Like you said on the snagged bro interview/podcast thing you want to inspire other anglers and you want to help spread happiness. You’ve inspired me and you will continue too. Glad your kidney stones are getting better .
Carl is by far the best fisherman in the uk possible appreciate these videos so much please keep looking after your health and thank you for doing these amazing videos ❤
Absolutely superb journey and story telling. I've watched a lot of fishing videos in the past, but this campaign not only for you but for me two as beginner fisherman taught me a lot of things. Thanks to you Carl!
Cinematography, editing, overall production, inspirational, top notch! what a story! This really gets the fires stoked. Recently returned to carp fishing after a 13 year hiatus due to having young kids (i never sold my tackle knowing i would return). This is everything magical about carp fishing and everything i remember of being absolutely obsessed, thank you.
Such a small world! I used to live in West Sussex and recognised all of the venues that you and Alex fished there! I moved to Milton Keynes 5 years ago and started to recognise this lake from your stories! I too found myself becoming obsessed with this lake - but unfortunately our paths split off as I could not find/make the time to commit to the lake! But like you have touched on in the video, I am so thrilled to see people creating memories on the lake - unlike some of the incredibly short minded members who fish this lake! Well done Carl! Brilliant video!
"That was the highlight of my Summer Holiday" says one of the brothers and shows how inspirational you are to the new generation of young anglers, let alone the old dodders who've been with you since day dot. A fitting ending to the film. Brothers within a Brotherhood.
It was surely one of the greatest carp fishing movie I have seen. It is fascinating how you link the beauty of the nature and the mental side of fishing. Maybe that's why I love your films so much. Watching it gave me chills and true motivation to make the best out of the one month left in summer, and the autumn time on my local rivers holding real beasts.🤩 Wish you good health, and all the best Carl!🐟 Best regards, Öcsi, a Hungarian carp angler🤝
Knackered after helping my mate who’s introduced me to fishing. Best hour spent chilling watching an incredible video. Take care of yourself Carl. Keep the content coming.
That film is probably the best carp film I’ve seen Carl, amazing footage, awesome editing and brilliant narration. Be very very proud of that work!!!!! Massive congratulations
Sensational movie. Best one you have done yet in my opinion. Possibly the best carp movie I've seen full stop. Something I think we can all relate to. Love your work
Love this, just brilliant! The sportsmanship, the ethos, the sentiment l, the fishing!!! Brilliant, love watching your videos with my kids, please keep it up.
What an epic journey! That line between passion for the sport and obsession is so thin. I’ve had the obsession take over and everything else in my life has taken a back seat. It ended up taking the joy out of it. Taking a step back and just enjoying the journey reignited my love for the sport. Again phenomenal video! Makes me miss my carp fishing days. Cheers and tight lines 🤙
Wow what a movie it was indeed! Always blows my mind at the level of quality and detail you put into these videos whilst working so hard and putting in the hours on the bank, you deserve every single bit of your accomplishments! What a legend!!!!
Thanks Lewis!! Juggling fishing time, editing time, filming and working on my business stuff is sometimes really tricky! Glad you enjoyed the film though! Means a lot! ❤️
The work you have put into your channel. The work you put into every campaign and the work ethic you hold is truly mega mate. Nothing in life comes free and you work hard for everything you have. You should be proud of yourself mate and I can’t lie. I’d of chose the mirror over the common any day 😂😂 what a fish fair play
Man... Iam a musky obsessed angler in Northern Ontario. you absolutely nailed this video and what we all feel in this obsession for the Giants! best Fishing Video on UA-cam to date!
Utterly amazing 🙏🏼. Your films are always more than just the fishing, they show the complete story and all the attached memories, moment, mayhem & madness! The amount of time and effort you put in truly shows in the quality of each individual element of this story. Always a pleasure to watch and keep doing what you’re doing 😊👑.
Great video Carl. Really shows the ups and downs of carp fishing. That weed alone would make the average angler give up. The disappointment of losing that fish and having to do pictures straight after must have been a tough moment. Life certainly is a balancing act, making sure you are there for the people you care for but also looking after yourself! Keep drinking water (or Bunderberg ginger beer... the best ginger beer around!) Us viewers are glad you have an Obsession. Si 🤓
Amazing film, one of your best Carl - Thoroughly enjoyed it! I think we can all identify with the obsession part when you know there is a huge target fish you have set your heart on, your journey should be essential viewing to show us all what it can do. Congratulations on the PB Mirror
Easily one of the best videos yet, Carl the amount of time and effort you put in so we can all have an hour of entertainment on a weekend doesn’t go unnoticed 👏🏻
Great video Karl just enjoy the time on the bank and the journey building up to that capture. I’ve been there before chasing around and putting too much pressure on myself not really enjoying it. It always happens when you’re not expecting it. That’s the best thing about Fishing.
Amazing film ... this shows exactly why I love it so much (still do after 40 years) and the friendships made ... mega to see it and how it can but. RESPECT guys ... Carl, Scott all of you ❤❤
This film is just way beyond carp fishing, this is an inspiration to chase your dreams and to enjoy our time here. Thanks for creating such amazing content, I love it ❤🎣
Ah mate thank you, massively appreciate that. So happy to hear you felt that from it ❤ absolutely, life is to be enjoyed - we can just get a bit stuck sometimes :)
Carl that is 58 minutes and 54 seconds of story telling to the highest level. A campaign and a video you can be really proud of.
Thank you so much Ashley :) Means a lot!!
'That's the highlight of my summer holiday'said the young fan on the bank. This is the impact your escapades and adventures have on people, and if you make it pay so it can be a living, that's the exact definition of living the dream.
Such a professional production, I can only imagine the time it took to edit and pull in the final finished piece. Huge well done mate, a truly epic production Carl, and a fabulous watch from this end.
😊
Thank you so much Nick :) Was a heartwarming moment!!!
Losing a fish and having a fan come up to you instantly after must be such a conflicting experience. Props for handling it well 👍🏻
It was a bit of a crazy moment! But it took the pain away a little ahhaa!
@@fishwithcarlI imagine him saying; this is the highlight of my holiday. Must have moved you

Every video I'm like "this is it, he can't make a video better than this...". But you did it again! Unbelievable, the fishing, the shots, the storytelling, but most of al the insight. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent! Thanks for sharing. Carp fishing here in the US, especially in New York, is so underrated but for those of us who do target them it's incredible.
Seeing Alex and Omi was an added bonus.
Carl, you are a great filmmaker and storyteller. Illnes, moral dilemas, neglect of duties, i'm speachless as to how one can make such an emotionally charged film about fishing.
❤ thank you mate, appreciate that.
That was pure magic Carl. I’ve been watching you and your brother since you started posting videos and, although I gave up fishing for other passions several years ago, I still enjoy these videos. This one was an absolute belter 👌👌👌
Carl, you've absolutely excelled yourself with this film. It's utterly incredible! Top work mate, you've created a masterpiece.
Thanks so much ❤️
Your videos are always a fantastic watch Carl but, as many of the comments reflect, this perhaps more than most other fishing videos, brilliantly captures the sentiments of all of us who love fishing. Delighted that you continue to make such great films for us to enjoy.
❤ thanks for the kinds words, means a lot
Just amazing. Goes to show if you put in the work you will get the reward. I used to fish almost every weekend 6-7 years ago & I think this has just gave me the itch to get back out on the banks. Cheers mate keep up the great videos 🎣💚
This has to be without doubt your best film yet - not only the dedication to so many different camera angles but the entire process. Expressing your honest thoughts throughout it all, the commiment to it all despite so many set backs. Showing a younger and older audience that hard work does pay off and there is no easy way round it. But to keep it all this composed is honestly incredible, a true credit to yourself. Let's not forget that this is a full hour of top tier fishing content for FREE. The futures bright, the futures fish with Carl
Thank you, that means a lot ❤
Amazing work carl. Watching you and alex grow up and enjoying yourselves is what life is all about. There are many people who dream about what you have done but you've proven that its all down to hard work. Well done buddy.
Ahh thanks so much mate :)
Im a match angler .. the video had me on the edge of my seat with everything crossed for you.. to realise the obsession was taking over the passion was your biggest achievement... we all do it in normal life for that job house car holiday..... sometimes we just all need to wind back and enjoy the true things that matter... to see another with the same passion achievement their dream and to be made up for them makes you a true gent...
One of the best carp films I’ve ever watched. Amazing storytelling, videography and the involvement of Scott, well that was the cherry on top. 👏👏👏
Oh wow, thank you man ❤
Wanna start of by saying i'm not a carper angler at all. Predatory fish only. But you're content as well as with you're brother was and is a joy to watch. Such devotion and honesty. A couple of wholesome guys making the best of every situation. Giving hope to every angler to never give up and chase you're dream (fish). Keep up the good work, enjoy the journey, and lots of support here from the Netherlands.
Incredible stuff Carl, having a job that puts you under the 1% can often be taken for granted, sometimes we have to stop to take a look at how far we’ve come and how privileged we are to be doing what we’re doing and then the enjoyment is so easy to come by. Well done mate, that mirror is INSANE!!
Definitely ❤ thank you mate, tight lines :)
I have been glued to your channel for past couple of weeks and its giving me that itch to get back into fishing again, I've not fished for about 20 years but you're videos keep me itching to get back out there and catch some really nice fish. Keep it up I look forward to your next adventure where ever that may be 👍👍
That was incredible. I'm not even an angler (yet) and by the end I'd gone through the highs and the lows of the adventure and shed more than a few tears. Beautiful stuff. Thank you.
Ahh wow - that's really lovely to hear. Happy you still enjoyed the film even though you're not an angler :) Thanks so much man.
Such a mega film, one of the best of 2024 somebody give this man a carp Oscar 🎉 what a journey the sacrifices we make for carp fishing is unbelievable my hat is off to you Carl, keep up the great work ❤
❤
Greetings from Belgium. A true genuine masterpiece, made from the heart. A true fisherman’s soul on video.
Wow, thank you mate ❤ that means a lot to hear - tight lines :)
There are levels to angling, and levels to videography/editing. To be at the top of both games is mind blowing 🤯 Another incredible video 👌
Simply put an amazing film, the passion, the tribulations and the love is there to see for all. After a 3 month break from angling myself this film has sparked a fire 🔥
Thanks so much Brett! Yesss, I'm glad to hear it! All the best with your fishing mate :)
Much love Carl ❤ that mirror was a belter and I love the fact you lost that fish and you still kept it together and managed to take some pics with your fans. Like you said on the snagged bro interview/podcast thing you want to inspire other anglers and you want to help spread happiness. You’ve inspired me and you will continue too. Glad your kidney stones are getting better .
❤❤❤
Carl is by far the best fisherman in the uk possible appreciate these videos so much please keep looking after your health and thank you for doing these amazing videos ❤
Absolutely superb journey and story telling. I've watched a lot of fishing videos in the past, but this campaign not only for you but for me two as beginner fisherman taught me a lot of things.
Thanks to you Carl!
Wow, thanks man. So happy the film has helped :) all the best with your fishing mate!
Cinematography, editing, overall production, inspirational, top notch! what a story! This really gets the fires stoked. Recently returned to carp fishing after a 13 year hiatus due to having young kids (i never sold my tackle knowing i would return). This is everything magical about carp fishing and everything i remember of being absolutely obsessed, thank you.
Thanks so much mate, appreciate that ❤
Such a small world! I used to live in West Sussex and recognised all of the venues that you and Alex fished there! I moved to Milton Keynes 5 years ago and started to recognise this lake from your stories!
I too found myself becoming obsessed with this lake - but unfortunately our paths split off as I could not find/make the time to commit to the lake! But like you have touched on in the video, I am so thrilled to see people creating memories on the lake - unlike some of the incredibly short minded members who fish this lake!
Well done Carl! Brilliant video!
You deserve everything you get out of fishing mate top fisherman and even better human.x
❤ thank you!
The joy on your face and happiness in your voice is so nice to see man! So happy for you. Thank you for the video it was such a great watch.
Ahh that's kind, glad you enjoyed it! :) Thanks so much Harry!
Love the campaign, love the passion for the carp. It is obsession, but that makes it special, unique. Makes me live the campaign with you.
I’ve watched this so many times within the short time it’s been posted. I can’t get enough of your videos Carl!
Ah mate thanks so much :) I'm so pleased you enjoy them!! Tight lines.
Carl, brilliant.
Passion,
Tenacity,
Love,
determination & joy.
Well done sir!!
Thanks so much Mark!
"That was the highlight of my Summer Holiday" says one of the brothers and shows how inspirational you are to the new generation of young anglers, let alone the old dodders who've been with you since day dot. A fitting ending to the film. Brothers within a Brotherhood.
Carl. This update was probably your best work. Great journey to follow you on. Truly inspiring. 😊
Mate, thank you ❤ I'm glad :)
It was surely one of the greatest carp fishing movie I have seen. It is fascinating how you link the beauty of the nature and the mental side of fishing. Maybe that's why I love your films so much. Watching it gave me chills and true motivation to make the best out of the one month left in summer, and the autumn time on my local rivers holding real beasts.🤩
Wish you good health, and all the best Carl!🐟
Best regards,
Öcsi, a Hungarian carp angler🤝
Thank you so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Knackered after helping my mate who’s introduced me to fishing. Best hour spent chilling watching an incredible video. Take care of yourself Carl. Keep the content coming.
Carl, this has been my favourite fishing video I've watched so far. Please look after yourself! And thankyou for bringing great content.
That film is probably the best carp film I’ve seen Carl, amazing footage, awesome editing and brilliant narration. Be very very proud of that work!!!!!
Massive congratulations
Wow, thanks so much mate - yeah it was a big one, it meant a lot do, so happy and blown away with the love it's received.
Sensational movie. Best one you have done yet in my opinion. Possibly the best carp movie I've seen full stop. Something I think we can all relate to. Love your work
Thanks mate. Means a lot! Glad you enjoyed :)
Love this, just brilliant! The sportsmanship, the ethos, the sentiment l, the fishing!!! Brilliant, love watching your videos with my kids, please keep it up.
Cheers Cheers :) will do. Tight lines!
46:41 just casually dropping one of the hardest quotes I’ve heard in a long time ♥️
♥️ haha
What an epic journey! That line between passion for the sport and obsession is so thin. I’ve had the obsession take over and everything else in my life has taken a back seat. It ended up taking the joy out of it. Taking a step back and just enjoying the journey reignited my love for the sport. Again phenomenal video! Makes me miss my carp fishing days. Cheers and tight lines 🤙
Certainly is a fine line. Glad you found the joy and love for it again too :) Thank you mate, tight lines! :)
Wow what a movie it was indeed! Always blows my mind at the level of quality and detail you put into these videos whilst working so hard and putting in the hours on the bank, you deserve every single bit of your accomplishments! What a legend!!!!
Thanks Lewis!! Juggling fishing time, editing time, filming and working on my business stuff is sometimes really tricky! Glad you enjoyed the film though! Means a lot! ❤️
The work you have put into your channel. The work you put into every campaign and the work ethic you hold is truly mega mate. Nothing in life comes free and you work hard for everything you have. You should be proud of yourself mate and I can’t lie. I’d of chose the mirror over the common any day 😂😂 what a fish fair play
Man... Iam a musky obsessed angler in Northern Ontario. you absolutely nailed this video and what we all feel in this obsession for the Giants! best Fishing Video on UA-cam to date!
Ahh wow, that's really kind - thanks so much man! That's awesome, I loved fishing for musky!!!
ua-cam.com/video/g-k9LIUV8G0/v-deo.html They're an awesome challenge, blown away to be able to experience it.
Utterly amazing 🙏🏼. Your films are always more than just the fishing, they show the complete story and all the attached memories, moment, mayhem & madness!
The amount of time and effort you put in truly shows in the quality of each individual element of this story. Always a pleasure to watch and keep doing what you’re doing 😊👑.
Thanks so much mate, means a lot ❤
Great video Carl. Really shows the ups and downs of carp fishing. That weed alone would make the average angler give up. The disappointment of losing that fish and having to do pictures straight after must have been a tough moment. Life certainly is a balancing act, making sure you are there for the people you care for but also looking after yourself! Keep drinking water (or Bunderberg ginger beer... the best ginger beer around!) Us viewers are glad you have an Obsession. Si 🤓
Amazing film, one of your best Carl - Thoroughly enjoyed it! I think we can all identify with the obsession part when you know there is a huge target fish you have set your heart on, your journey should be essential viewing to show us all what it can do. Congratulations on the PB Mirror
By far the best video I have watched this year. The way the story was told, I could feel the passion. Keep up the great work.
Wow, thank you mate ❤
Easily one of the best videos yet, Carl the amount of time and effort you put in so we can all have an hour of entertainment on a weekend doesn’t go unnoticed 👏🏻
❤
Great video Karl just enjoy the time on the bank and the journey building up to that capture. I’ve been there before chasing around and putting too much pressure on myself not really enjoying it. It always happens when you’re not expecting it. That’s the best thing about Fishing.
Amazing film ... this shows exactly why I love it so much (still do after 40 years) and the friendships made ... mega to see it and how it can but. RESPECT guys ... Carl, Scott all of you ❤❤
❤ mate, thanks so much.
No one else motivates me to get back out fishing like Carl. Congrats on the big mirror, can't wait to see the big common in your net!
What a fun video to watch. Catching a carp over 40lb is hard enough. But having a video with 2 over 40lb is always such a thrill to see.
I'm speechless after watching this video. The is genuinely one of the greatest videos I've ever seen. Thank you, Karl.
Wow, thanks Ben, happy you enjoyed it! ❤
This film is just way beyond carp fishing, this is an inspiration to chase your dreams and to enjoy our time here. Thanks for creating such amazing content, I love it ❤🎣
Ah mate thank you, massively appreciate that. So happy to hear you felt that from it ❤ absolutely, life is to be enjoyed - we can just get a bit stuck sometimes :)
I don't fish but I adore your movies, they are incredible ❤️ Thanks Carl! Keep chugging water and casting rods!
Kinds regards from Denmark 🏴🇩🇰
