Oh I remember those couple of nights so well......you were supposed to hear the alarms and wake up so that you could catch a monster cat! I think I shouted at your tent for about 30 or 40 seconds before I decided to strike the rod myself 😂.....oh well...it gave you the inspiration to gear up and try it for yourself, which you clearly did to great effect. Love and best wishes as always x
Guys dont be to negative about the older video,s i still watch them till this day and stil very much enjoyd the innocence and good attempts you guys made and still do! With me currently being atleast 10 years older then you both i still look up to you both as i did from the start , you both have made me love fishing even more! A big thank you again for the joy you are spreading and keep up the awesome job you have done and will continue to do.
I still love watching your guys old videos they are really entertaining and to Watch you guys learn and adapt your fishing when you was younger was great 🎣👌
First ever video I watched was when you were in France fishing a small Canal quite a few hrs ago, you’ve come along way since then. I always enjoy your videos, just two down to earth lads who love fishing, no egos or the usual product pushing rubbish. Keep up the good work chaps and get ya sens up to Yorkshire one day!
Every time my husband puts fishing on our TV I read a book as it bores me to death. However if it is one of your videos I find myself watching and enjoying it. I love you guys!!
Lads, I started watching your videos around 2012 and I thought you were the absolute bollocks. I even got some of my mates to start watching. Quest for a Twenty was the film that really kick started my interest in fishing for more than just small roach and perch on the float and your Chub and Barbel fishing on the Sussex Ouse then caused me to expand my interest on to the rivers. Honestly you should be proud of those old films because you've been inspiring anglers since the very beginning. Big ups to you both, stay safe and continue doing what you're doing as we love it 💪👌
Hey Carl and Alex, your videos truly inspired me to pick up carp fishing again. Just caught my second 20 pounder from a small creek nearby, a stunning mirror. I am having more fun fishing than ever and it's thanks to you guys. Keep up the good work lads, greetings from the Netherlands
@@kevindirke9601 yeah we can go outside with a maximum of two people if we stay at least 1,5 metres from each other. Fishing is still allowed, but i dont like to go to the commercial lakes where its very busy, i usually go down to my local creek where im all alone. This also insures i cannot give or get the coronavirus to/from anyone else. On a usual fishing day i might run into 2 hikers max
I still remember watching your old channel so i have seen you guys grow your channels you can see the difference in quality of course and it has been good to see that over the years keep up the good hard work lads !
Followed your vids right from the start on your old channel lads, It's been greatly entertaining seeing how the production quality and presenters have changed so much in that time lol. Keep up the good work
Watching this vid of a decade ago and then watching one of your vids of today really shows how much you have learnt and progressed. In my humble opinion you two produce by far the most interesting and the best quality and content of all the fishing vids.
Being a new subscriber and enjoying your content it was a real treat to see the younger lads from 10 yrs ago learning their craft, enjoying fishing and family. Being a senior citizen (62) I fully understand how watching something you said or did years ago can be embarrassing but believe me as time goes by you'll look at those days quite differently than now. Keep up the excellent work and at least by being a new viewer I can go back and watch all the ones I've missed from earlier days. Keep safe and good wishes from the U.S.A. I'm even learning how to speak the "english" language fluently.
Another Great Video, At times like this with all the stress about, the world needs people like you guys who keep a smile on peoples faces and our spirits up. Well done Top Marks!
Absolutely brilliant to see how far you've come. Will be showing this to my son, to show him with hard work and dedication this is what you can achieve
Love the video and we all have to start somewhere to be successful in life. I am looking back at my old videos and laughing about how cheesy they were. But at the same time looking at how much I have grown over the years and how much better quality my videos are now today. Thanks for the uplifting encouragement to be successful in life. As always happy fishing and tight lines my friend.
i remember watching your old videos and just thinking about how much i wanted to be like you guys when i grew up! cant wait for this pandemic to be over so i can hit the water!
This is how I feel when I find stuff I wrote when I was younger and read it while thinking "oh god did I even know what an apostrophe was?". Cheers, this was just the laugh I think we all needed during these.. Interesting times. This should stave off the lack of fishing madness a little longer... A little... Help.
Lads, don't be ashamed of your videos. You have come so far and it's very impressive. You've worked hard, more so than most who do videos on here. You should be proud of yourselves. I wish I could have done something like this. Keep going!!
These videos are proof of the effort you put in to get where you are know. how many other high school kids would spend every weekend fishing and editing videos like you guys did. they may not be up to your current standard but you should still be proud of them.
Don't be too hard on yourselves, You just showed us the experiences of growing up. Fun to watch. Just like you indicated, it takes all the awkwardness of the experience to get to who you are today. I've been watching your video files and you both seem like well adjusted adults and thats to be commended. Enjoy life and I will continue to consume your content ... Good job. Jamie from Ohio, USA.
Wow, You guys have really come a long way. I can only see a brighter future for you both. Very entertaining seeing you develop and grow into the fine anglers and mature men you have become. Not to mention the skills inherent in your videography.
Epic video lads, it’s great to see how you got started. Your videos have helped me out so many times and they they always seem to put a smile on my face. Keep doing what your doing and I look forward to the next upload. Thanks again.
This was a bucket of laughs! Im glad you guys decided to do this video! In a weird way it was inspirational to see yout UA-cam journey. After this whole lock down is over we will all still be here waiting to see your future adventures! Great job! Stay Safe!
Haha loved it, cheered me up as im in pain just had knee replacement. You lads have done so well and prob one of the longest youtubers. I think its great that you gave up ur jobs to go back to your own fishing doing what yous want to do, with a good mixture of fish. Hope you continue for many years. Ive been fishing 49yrs started at 7yrs old. Love all your vids, entertaining with very good tutorials. So all the best to you both and looking forward to more vids.
I can't believe I totally missed your channel for so long. Awesome content and great story you are telling here. We all have to start somewhere and you guys should be super proud of yourselves for the achievements with the fishing and the videos! Long live Carl and Alex 👍
Dadbob here - I think you have done brilliant lads, it is so great to see how you have progressed and grown, doing what you love and being appreciated for it. Bravo :)
To this day I still remember you two from 2011/2012 😂 and I remember every single one of your old videos like I had watched them yesterday. Take care boys!
Don't forget that us hardcore are watching now because we watched and loved back then. What really comes across from the old video's is how determined and committed you both were and this is clear on the Park lake and reservoir diaries series, probibly the best fishing fishing video's that i have ever seen.
I discovered fishing with Carl from watching Just Alex growing mushrooms in his room! 😂😂 Absolutely love the old videos that started it all! Seeing both of you grow up over the years is great, your parents must be proud. Alex was adorable! 🥰
Thanks, guys! Wife and I, with our two cats, are stuck in one room in an extended stay hotel here in the States. Your videos are certainly helping me stay sane. Stay well to fish another day!
Park lake compain was an awesome watch guys loved watching it from some one that has been there and done the long stints for for fish and trying to think out side the bag to be different to make it work you guys have gone so far in 15 years dont knock it guys your good very good keep it up lads looking forward to the next one
really cool footage from the early days, the underwater footage i think is brilliant, a camera on the end of a bank stick, simple...but some amazing footage of the carp coming into feed on the baits. please please do a new series with loads of camping, underwater footage , and more adventures. keep up the awesome work, keep safe guys. thanks for sharing
Not usually a fan of "react" videos but this one is a gem! I think it was about 2012 i started watching you. Those vids had a charm and cuteness about them.
Carl and Alex - Greetings from South Africa. Been watching from the first upload - love the channel. I have notifications on and each time you guys upload it put it on full blast and watch the entire video about 2 times. If you guys ever want to visit South Africa from some insane Carp Fishing - hit me up.
Awesome video by carl and alex it's nice to look back and remember those times I mean alex I no your knees must of been knocking when you hooked that first 20 in them old vids stay safe guys
Great video boys! I never comment on UA-cam but this made me want to. I haven’t seen my brother in weeks and really miss him. We used to live together years ago and it was brilliant, and we have been fishing partners since we were about 7 or 8 (we are now 37 and 38). Missed his birthday 48 hour trip carping because of the lockdown 🙁. Can’t wait to get back out there! Stay safe, thanks for continuing to entertain 🤙🏼🎣
Nothing about them embarrassing guys, first found you through Angling Times videos I think it was! It's a journey you guys have shared as brothers and friends, you should be proud of everything you have achieved, well done to both of you!
I think you should be both proud of what you did as two young lads, I think it was amazing, and although I understand you thinking it cringeworthy its really not if you take it for what it was, two young lads making fishing films that were amazingly well done for the time.
I actually really enjoy the early videos you guys made, they remind me of when I was a kid fishing my local park with my friends. I find the early videos to be quite reminiscent of the early John Wilson TV shows, no doubt you took alot of inspiration from those and it shows in your editing and choice of music. Pleasure to watch as always. Tight lines an wet nets 👀 lol 👍
Like you said, it was and is an process and you guys should be very proud of what you created as such young boys and meanwhile man. Keep going, follow yours hearts and visions!
still remember a video with alex with a anglers mail t-shirt float fishing with sweetcorn for carp. can remember the whole video. leaves the house with a scooter ect. been here since day one lads. keep up the good work
I started fishing around the same age and now my son has been fishing for two years now and we've had some of the most memorable times of my life together already and have a fishing buddy for life lol.
That park lake campaign I remember watching by accident not knowing who either of you were... was a great watch really enjoyed it and the other ones that followed too 🙌
Hi guys worst part of lock down is Im running out of your videos to watch! Would love too see you do a video on the gear you currently use as someone hoping to get into carp fishing it would be good to know what you deem as essential and what you can do without Keep up the good work 😁
When i was about to come in the UK,i google`ed chub fishing in the uk and watched a video of you catching that chub with the scar on his head, you even had a name for it.Watching since then.Keep it going!
Oh I remember those couple of nights so well......you were supposed to hear the alarms and wake up so that you could catch a monster cat! I think I shouted at your tent for about 30 or 40 seconds before I decided to strike the rod myself 😂.....oh well...it gave you the inspiration to gear up and try it for yourself, which you clearly did to great effect.

Guys, you rule. Forget 10 mil of pounds. Just keep doing what you are doing, please. Sooo inspirational. Thanks.
Lads, I started watching your videos around 2012 and I thought you were the absolute bollocks. I even got some of my mates to start watching. Quest for a Twenty was the film that really kick started my interest in fishing for more than just small roach and perch on the float and your Chub and Barbel fishing on the Sussex Ouse then caused me to expand my interest on to the rivers. Honestly you should be proud of those old films because you've been inspiring anglers since the very beginning. Big ups to you both, stay safe and continue doing what you're doing as we love it 💪👌
Don’t worry about the dodgy haircuts guys, there gonna be back in fashion over the coming weeks. Good fun to watch, keep em coming guys.
I cried when you said "went to the shops and bought ....chips"
hahaha
Seeing catch and release of your brother made my day
Hey Carl and Alex, your videos truly inspired me to pick up carp fishing again. Just caught my second 20 pounder from a small creek nearby, a stunning mirror. I am having more fun fishing than ever and it's thanks to you guys. Keep up the good work lads, greetings from the Netherlands
Are you guys still allowed fishing.

Hi guys just found your channel on youtube and I’ve got to say you do some of the most enjoyable fishing,koi videos on UA-cam 👍🏻

14:15 so we have to go back to 2012 to see Carl catching a bigger "fish" than Alex 👀
Nice retrospective! You can see the improvement to your filming, content,and presentation.
As you said, growing your craft...
