I always give bluegill a little bit of a toss with the idea being that maybe they will stop coming after my bait and let the bigger fish come in. Living in Illinois, I swear bluegill makes up like 90% of the fish population and I'm tired of catching them. One day I caught 14 bluegill in the span of two hours, + 1 bluegill that I caught twice. The water was clear and I let him go, cast out my line and watched him turn right around and grab it again...
One of the many many lessons I have learned from this dude is that when you catch a fish, you must say the words “see ya buddy” each and every time when you release the fish
I remember when I was younger (now I'm 18) and I would always wine whenever their would be no catch, but the thing is, the more your grow, the more you realize life is nature. Your life can go it's own way, and just the fact that he was even able to get where he got, catch something, is all that matters. I'm a believer, but Even God has his own will just liken nature. My Grandma passed away this year, not from covid, she died from a stroke. I'm happy she's up there in peace. I had Covid, but all I had was 3 day cold, and a weird taste and smell issue where I couldn't do any of the 2 for a month. Strangely my sibling couldn't do either for like 2-3months.
“See ya later buddy.” Always said this when releasing a fish since I was a kid. I’ve been here since the beginning and I think this is the first time I’m commenting on this phrase, but I think you should really start a merch line like tshirts or soemthing with a bass or what not and it just says see ya later buddy. Idk maybe it’s just me but if by one.
The last time I saw anyone get as excited over catching a Carp as were was when my 9 yr old son caught his first one. Here in Wisconsin, the only people that have never caught tons of Carps are those that have never fished. As others have said, I love your enthusiasm just catching a tiny bass or Bluegill. NEVER lose that Joy no matter how old you get.
I was bass fishing on a float tube once and got a big bite. Put up a great fight all excited to see the bass I had landed and........ a 12 pound carp. Same feeling.
They put up a good fight but they give up pretty quickly. I’ll take a massive trout on a fly rod any day I are a carp. I do think carp are fun on a fly rod or light tackle
Common Carp are just that in my area: common. A little reservoir I go to has LOTS of 5-7 pounders. Then there is a good supply of 10-15 pounders that give you a great fight. Then there are what my friends call "Them". You see Them from time to time but are very smart and cautious. Personally I call them "Typhoon Class". 20-25 pounds of break your arm Common Carp. Like you said: some people don't think anything special about the Carp. But to us who go after them with micro ultralight poles and 4-6 pound line, they are the best fight we found around here. Congrats on your first time catch!
Carp are over 50 lbs where I used to fish. Mine got off the hook but a friend caught one 55...I think he said it took over a half hour to real it in...Carp are easy to catch and fun sport fish...
Nice to see someone excited about catching a carp. It saddens me that so many here in the states just see them as trash. They are an absolute blast to catch. Love it.
@@Geion you make a good point. Should I consider largmouth bass a trash fish in California? Simply because it is an introduced species in my state? Should I encouraged people to kill each one they catch? Or should I just enjoy catching the fish? Not really trying to argue with you. Because you are correct. But the majority of the freshwater fish I have caught in my life have been introduced to the waters by humans. For better or for worse we happen to live on a planet that has been drastically altered by human activity. I dont see a reason to not enjoy catching a good sized fish just because people in the past decided to introduce the species into waters they should not be in. I just catch what bites and enjoy it.
@@dockking3622 don't know about that. The reason I said what I did about carp is because the Asian carp has completely fucked up large portions of the Mississippi River to the point where the indigenous fish have all died off. It's so bad that they have set up mechanisms to prevent them from being able to get into the great lakes for fear of the same thing eventually happening there.
@@Geion ya those Asian carp are a menace. I have seen videos. Their numbers are crazy. And they are a real threat to those ecosystems. I definitely don't deny the devistaing impact invasive species can have on native species populations and the overall ecology of an ecosystem. I just enyoy catching fish. And I was stoked to see this guy excited to catch a fish that i have enjoyed catching and that many people would rather not catch.

Loved seeing you so excited with that wild carp. A 5lb wildie will go like a 15lb stock carp, plenty of muscle. We still have a few in the rivers here in England, good fun on light tackle

Check out the European carp fishing bite alarms I got a set for carp and catfish and there is nothing more exhilarating than hearing that alarm start screaming
I was just saying to myself: that fish fights just like a (king) carp... beautiful fish. Great to see other people out there get excited by single figure wild carp. I love targeting those "small" fish on wild waters, much cooler than fishing for 40lb+ fish on commercials as is the fashion here in Europe
Another great video. We have lots of those small common carp in the UK and they are tremendous sport on light tackle. Glad you were pleased, they are great fish!
Now thats a great day out 🎣 fishing. 👍 watching this makes my 43 yr old butt want to get back out an do it again. i hung it up 15 yrs ago for hunting. but this video just re-sparked my old passion thanks dude.
Hey Nick, just a possible word of advice from my own experience, I would suggest allowing whatever takes you have on the live sunfish to unfold for a while before setting the hook, at least 15 seconds. Could lead you to some better hookups. Just an idea, keep up the strong work!
I fish creeks like this all the time and it's always minnows/small fish nibbling at the bait. When the group gets big enough it feels and moves like a wierd bite but usually just minnows.
If I know theares pike in thear I like to let them take a few minutes extra or atleast a good run to avoid pulling the bait out of their mouth but most of the fishing holes up hear that size dont have anything decent size in them .so I will react on the hit right away .I like to light a little fishing fire cook a few dogs and have myself a few buds .keep up the good times and rip a few more good luck you guys .enjoy the season and stay virus free
And then on top off that....he turned that POS trash fish back in the estuary. Sorry pal... thumbs down. You cut loose the perfect size eating catfish.
@@Akren905 I'm lucky... there's a small creek in my neighborhood with TONS of fish, the trick is to go there when nobody's swimming, or you might accidentally end up catching a person...
Damn! Your channel reminds me of my youth! When you didn’t care what you caught as long as you caught it! Really cool stuff! Makes we wanna get the ol catfish rods out a go find a simple creek!👍
That looked like a great trip. Congrats on your first carp. I used to love catching those beasts in the tribs of Lake Michigan in mid to late May. We'd catch them one after another; most in the 35" range (never had a scale with us). Lost a few poles to them, too. They'd just rip them right out of the holders. Crazy stuff.
We love carping over here in the UK, strange the way the US sees them as an invasive species...They can give you an amazing fight, i've caught common carp from the river Ebro in Spain and next to the Wells Catfish over there was the best fighting fish i've faced. River carp are very strong fish.
Carp have a very high tendency to feign being tired. I've lost many a carp just off the bank, but my largest was a 45 pound monster. Combos snack crackers (cheddar cheese pretzel) has been my go to carp bait.
Absolutely love this!! My father took me to fish at places like this all the time💙 when I was 4-6.I learned to fish anywhere,he called it billy goating🤣keep up your passion my man!!
What fun...Nice scenery, nice music. Well done. I liked how you really showed what the fish you caught looked like & what they were, for those of us who dont know for sure. Nice, pleasant adventure. Thank you...😉👍🇺🇸
The “DO NOT FISH HERE. YOU WILL BE ARRESTED FOR TRESPASSING” really ruined my thoughts just then, but as long as he keeps showin us these spots, we’ll be alright!
To catch carp, use 8-10lb mono on a medium power rod. Just cover the hook in a ball of white bread (no crust) or sweet corn, or make your own bait by mixing Frosted Flakes and strawberry soda until it gets a doughy consistency. Worms also work great, but other fish will try and eat these a lot too. Use a palomar knot for good strength, and just use one 1/8 oz split shot 12” up the line. Good luck!
... so, if you indeed enjoy catching carp I'll leave you with this angling gem - Wonder Bread, and Peanut Butter balled up on a treble hook... enjoy 😂👍🎣🏆
My dad used to make dough bait with honey, peanut butter and cereal, (something like that, wish I could remember) Carp loved it and it was a good snack for us kids.
I was gonna type the same thing. I've seen guys fish with bluegills the size of hands convinced they are gonna catch the "big one" all that does is kill the fish and gives turtles something to eat. I have this live bait rule. nothing bigger then my index finger. it's worked.

I recently almost bought a bait caster because i felt like i needed one due to seeing most fishing youtubers use them and seeing you fish how i always have changes my mind on the purchase. At least for now:)
Very nice video. Nice catches. When you fish where everyone else fishes, the fish are basically over fed. So they don’t bite much. That’s why, just like you did here, I hop into my kayak and find the out of the way places like in the cat tails and lily pads, fish a weedless rubber worm, retrieve it across the top and net some HUGE bass. Bass are my favorite. You catch and release. I catch and grease 🥴 I stock my freezer for the winter.
Kim Went, I have used a hard roll, bread bun from a restaurant, & have caught literally dozens of carp, in this manner, placed about a foot below the surface, with an adjustable bobber, ... they can “smell” the bread, & flock to it like putting a “free food” sign on the hook, ...
I used to catch those common carp in the Yellowstone river where I lived growing up. They are still the funnest fighting fish I've ever caught in fresh water....
Lake Erie has some huge drums, but the locals call them sheep head. Stupid fish, they will swallow everything, bait, hook, weights, line, and then just lay there like they are dead. They don't fight at all, even when you land them.
I love it when folks beg the fish to "please stay on" LMAO! I'm guilty as heck of doing it! Like we think the fish can hear us! Hahaha! So I stumbled across your channel and I'm "hooked" LOL you go the extra mile hunting fish and that's cool. I do have a ton of questions though. 1st one is how many times have you been bitten by snakes? Or come close to getting bit? Some of those areas look like they could be infested with them!
Shredded wheat and vanilla flavoring.Thats the ingredients for carp and catfish.The old fashioned plain shedded wheat cereal yellow box. Anyways mix shredded wheat with water until it turns into doughball then mix in vanilla flavoring. Cheap and easy as pie to carry and mix with water where your fishing. Best bait advise ever!!
Try using circle hooks and go through the bottom jaw and up through the top jaw and out. The beauty of circle hooks is that you don't need to set the hook as it will automatically pull into the corner of the mouth as the fish turns away.
What we do usually is we put the net in the water first and guided the fish to the net, that way you only need to scoop from the bottom. The fishes are not as mad that way.
Bringing Clarity to Confusion i dont know, but when you are reeling in, and your net isnt in the water yet, so you usually splash the water while trying to scoop the fish. But if the net is already in the water there is no extra movements. I dont know if i explain it clear or not. Hope you get the idea...
I just can't understand how he's never caught a common before, being from Illinois. I grew up in central/E central Iowa (if the weather people and their maps can ever decide lol) and I've caught them all my life. Lakes, rivers, ponds. Hell me and a buddy even caught them in a run off creek from a lake while catching creek chubs.
Carp are one of the most awesome species to catch if you ask me, along with tench (which you guys don't have over in the US). They fight so freaking hard. I think it would be fun to see you specifically targeting carp occasionally :) I think you could have quite a bit of success over there. Here, we have the problem that they are caught so often that they learn how to recognise end tackle and lines and stuff, but I guess over there that won't be the case at the spots you tend to fish. And another plus: they can get really, really huge. Over at my favourite fishing spot over here in the Netherlands, there are apparently some 60 pounders and tons of 40 pound carp.
@@618Fishing Awesome man! Definitely looking forward to that! Keep up the great vids! You're about the only fishing channel that I devoutly watch every time a new vid comes out :)
Haven’t read the thousand plus comments (nice) but your common carp looks like a King Carp one of the rarer carp varieties. Love your vids from the UK 👍
Yeah carp are a huge feature fish in the UK and Europe. A lot of people here are constantly chasing them. The bigger lake fish are often heavy but don't always fight that hard but fight for a long time. The 10to 25lb mark fight hard and if your lucky enough to have river carp locally lb for lb not much else fights harder. Awesome vid
Why do I find it funny that he releases the bass gently, but yeets the blue gill. 🤣😂
I always give bluegill a little bit of a toss with the idea being that maybe they will stop coming after my bait and let the bigger fish come in. Living in Illinois, I swear bluegill makes up like 90% of the fish population and I'm tired of catching them. One day I caught 14 bluegill in the span of two hours, + 1 bluegill that I caught twice. The water was clear and I let him go, cast out my line and watched him turn right around and grab it again...

By the title I thought you actually found a new species. I feel slightly cheated
And then on top off that....he turned that POS trash fish back in the estuary. Sorry pal... thumbs down. You cut loose the perfect size eating catfish.
He’s not a fuckin biologist
He’s caught like 9000x more fish than I have and I’ve caught plenty of carp, how is that possibly a new species for him?
If you paid any attention, he said it’s a new species FOR HIM
@@hawaiianseaturtle009 if you payed attention to the title, it says Giant New Species.... Smartass
"30 minutes later.. Guys I've been fishing here for a little bit over an HOUR" 😂
That is sheer excellence in catch and release. Well done. Very exciting to watch.
“I did not want to fish this spill way “
Me : I haven’t even gone fishing for the past 16 days
amateur, havent gone fishin since september 2019
Or those who legally cant.... wish we could. Even for micros.
I feel the pain! middle of the spring Chinook run and all fishing is closed down!
Neo Goga you’re slacking. GET OUT THERE. Go alone, stay away.
@@Akren905 I'm lucky... there's a small creek in my neighborhood with TONS of fish, the trick is to go there when nobody's swimming, or you might accidentally end up catching a person...
Me, an Australian, watching him release the carp: 😱
They are invasive in the USA. It’s actually illegal to throw them back on Minnesota.
All carp in aus must be destroyed and highly illegal to release
Yeah, definitely should never throw one back. Ever. I’m Wyoming they kill our environment and our trout. After seeing him release it, idk.
Kill it with fire 🔥
@@sebastiansatorius3242 yes then eat it they aren't invasive here but I am sad he throw it back could have been a nice 4 ppl dinner
Awesome video bruz, here in Australia, Carp cause big problems with our creeks and rivers and we release them 40ft up the bank.
I like your attitude and your sportsmanship! Love to go fishin with ya!!
Damn! Your channel reminds me of my youth! When you didn’t care what you caught as long as you caught it! Really cool stuff! Makes we wanna get the ol catfish rods out a go find a simple creek!👍
That looked like a great trip. Congrats on your first carp. I used to love catching those beasts in the tribs of Lake Michigan in mid to late May. We'd catch them one after another; most in the 35" range (never had a scale with us). Lost a few poles to them, too. They'd just rip them right out of the holders. Crazy stuff.
Tippy dam. If you know what I mean. Took lots of them out there.
hahaha holy cow man I'd be bummed if that drug my pole in, but I can definitely see that happening
When that carp took I was thinking " Well it's either another channel cat or a carp" I was surprised when it was fairly good sized carp
That water looks so nice all the fish had great color and no parasites.
Really nice young man. No foul language, thank you for that. Good fishing.
In a number of states, i.e. Minnesota and Wisconsin, his returning carp to the water alive would actually be against regulations.
We've always called them bank fish. When ya catch them, leave them on the bank. The orientals go bat shit crazy for them though.
In Britain they are trophy fish and a blast to catch but that’s because they are native to our country and I can get why you don’t like them
Never seen anybody get excited about a bugle-mouth Bass.
Have you tried using circle hooks?? Id recommended to start rigging them up you’ll start pulling in a lot more fish!
We love carping over here in the UK, strange the way the US sees them as an invasive species...They can give you an amazing fight, i've caught common carp from the river Ebro in Spain and next to the Wells Catfish over there was the best fighting fish i've faced. River carp are very strong fish.
Your satellite scouting work paid off with multiple species, a serene environment and a brand new PB of species. I enjoyed that adventure.
Carp have a very high tendency to feign being tired. I've lost many a carp just off the bank, but my largest was a 45 pound monster. Combos snack crackers (cheddar cheese pretzel) has been my go to carp bait.
they love dogfood aswell
Absolutely love this!! My father took me to fish at places like this all the time💙 when I was 4-6.I learned to fish anywhere,he called it billy goating🤣keep up your passion my man!!
7:46 what happened to the screw that holds in the reel handle?😂
That reel squeaks a lot like its going to fall apart every handle turn!
I'm the grumpy old young guy who hates fishing but goes every weekend. Wish I could have this guy's attitude.. I'd probably catch more fish
What fun...Nice scenery, nice music. Well done. I liked how you really showed what the fish you caught looked like & what they were, for those of us who dont know for sure. Nice, pleasant adventure. Thank you...😉👍🇺🇸
“I’m not gonna say it”, “I’m not gonna say it”, yea I’m not gonna say it”
0.2 seconds later: “FISH ON!”
It's cool how you say "goodbye buddy" when you release the fish. You're like the Bob Ross of fishing... ( :
The “DO NOT FISH HERE. YOU WILL BE ARRESTED FOR TRESPASSING” really ruined my thoughts just then, but as long as he keeps showin us these spots, we’ll be alright!
Nobody should own the creek.
where is the sign could not see it
@@dmac7406 rivers, hell no. Creeks? Yah, that's my property
.,ii
That was lots of fun watching your fish, and you’re a real good at that 👍😉I may take that hobby up one day👌🤔🌞
I always feel like he’s gonna get me to click when he says “NEW SPECIES” and he catches a turtle hahah
Jose Presas lol
I've had snapping turtles while trout fishing thankfully never had a hook set but they fight all the way to where you are standing then let go.
I thought he caught a an undiscovered species not a new species for him
That's exactly what I thought. Damn what a let down.
K Vot I know
KERMIT DE FROG Maybe next time he will catch a whiny green frog...and keep it.
@@mannynunez6746 lol. I can't believe people actually thought he caught an entirely new species
You'll be a new species soon
Take a shot every time he says “ceya latter buddy” or anything along those lines. Have fun~
Like de javu
The joy that catching a damn, slimey little carp brings this man is kinda awesome.
To catch carp, use 8-10lb mono on a medium power rod. Just cover the hook in a ball of white bread (no crust) or sweet corn, or make your own bait by mixing Frosted Flakes and strawberry soda until it gets a doughy consistency. Worms also work great, but other fish will try and eat these a lot too. Use a palomar knot for good strength, and just use one 1/8 oz split shot 12” up the line. Good luck!
... so, if you indeed enjoy catching carp I'll leave you with this angling gem - Wonder Bread, and Peanut Butter balled up on a treble hook... enjoy 😂👍🎣🏆
That's almost as good as canned corn for lake trout.
My dad used to make dough bait with honey, peanut butter and cereal, (something like that, wish I could remember) Carp loved it and it was a good snack for us kids.
Treble hooks for carp? You sir, are a savage and a heathen, you might as well be spear fishing ffs! 😔🔫
When you're having problems like that weekend in a lot of bites but you're not hooking up downsize
I was gonna type the same thing. I've seen guys fish with bluegills the size of hands convinced they are gonna catch the "big one" all that does is kill the fish and gives turtles something to eat. I have this live bait rule. nothing bigger then my index finger. it's worked.
Carrying all that gear everywhere must be a hassle
Thanks for the hassle tho 618
I am a kid and I carry that much lol 😂 I fish for everything and I carry 4 rods and 25-30 pounds of tackle and a net
@@eddies1541 that's a bit overkill buddy
@@eddies1541 nah brother your good I carry at least 4 rods and my takle bag is around 50 lbs less is not more when targeting species or going out and fishing 1 ultra heavy rod tsunami saltx one bait caster for my crank/slash one 10 lbs test penn clash 3500 medium rod for finicky fish and 2 all around rod Penn ssv5 mated with a 7 foot toad rod 20lb test braid fg knot to 17 lb flouro and quantum s3 spinning rod with a very fast tip for bouncing the bottom

I recently almost bought a bait caster because i felt like i needed one due to seeing most fishing youtubers use them and seeing you fish how i always have changes my mind on the purchase. At least for now:)
Very nice video. Nice catches. When you fish where everyone else fishes, the fish are basically over fed. So they don’t bite much. That’s why, just like you did here, I hop into my kayak and find the out of the way places like in the cat tails and lily pads, fish a weedless rubber worm, retrieve it across the top and net some HUGE bass. Bass are my favorite. You catch and release. I catch and grease 🥴 I stock my freezer for the winter.
Im loving your spillway series. I have to do some this year as well.
You should!
@@618Fishing i will for sure this summer.
4:43 when a fish 🎣 doesn’t here him say “see ya later buddy” 😳
I cant believe you've never caught a carp before, im very curious how long you have been fishing
Beautiful video bro.... well done, great music. Not a fisher but made me want to fish 😂 Keep it up.
Never seen someone get so excited over a common carp... Congrats beautiful fish❤️... We have alot in the UK if ever over the pond 😉
Common carp are my favorite to catch! And they are massive 30 lbs or more! The fights are insane! If you dont stop the run they will spool you.👍
Been Wondering how do you catch them. What bait is good to use on them. Everytime I go I see them hanging by but them seem interested in my bait
Kim Went, I have used a hard roll, bread bun from a restaurant, & have caught literally dozens of carp, in this manner, placed about a foot below the surface, with an adjustable bobber, ... they can “smell” the bread, & flock to it like putting a “free food” sign on the hook, ...
I wonder how many times he’s said “see ya later buddy” in all these videos 😂
I love that part. 🎣
9865413565247984124 times he has said that
Wtf
Hey will you ever do a catfish catch and cook
That smaller catfish was a perfect size for eating! Nice video and congrats on the new species of fish you caught! Thumbs up all day man!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I used to catch those common carp in the Yellowstone river where I lived growing up. They are still the funnest fighting fish I've ever caught in fresh water....
Fishing for carp is so much fun! They just don’t give up,
Your slogan saying should be
SEE YOU LATER BUDDY
Lol
I say it to lol
Keep your eyes peeled for arrow heads when your walking small creeks and I've caught huge carp out of Ohio river tributaries
Lake Erie has some huge drums, but the locals call them sheep head. Stupid fish, they will swallow everything, bait, hook, weights, line, and then just lay there like they are dead. They don't fight at all, even when you land them.
Nice catch man! Beautiful carp. Those rascals fight like hell too! So much fun to catch!! I love hitting little holes around Georgia.
YOU TRULY HAVE A BEAUIFUL CHANNEL. LIFE IS SO PRECIOUS. LIVE EVERY DAY LIKE IT,S YOUR LAST. "CHEERS TO YOU MY BROTHER "
me peacefully watching;
this guy: *dramatically releases fish with a sincere tone* "see ya later buddy..."
I just love how calm you are in stead of being overhyped like those other guys.
I love it when folks beg the fish to "please stay on" LMAO! I'm guilty as heck of doing it! Like we think the fish can hear us! Hahaha! So I stumbled across your channel and I'm "hooked" LOL you go the extra mile hunting fish and that's cool. I do have a ton of questions though. 1st one is how many times have you been bitten by snakes? Or come close to getting bit? Some of those areas look like they could be infested with them!
Thank you for the joy I have 😊 watching you catch fish
Shredded wheat and vanilla flavoring.Thats the ingredients for carp and catfish.The old fashioned plain shedded wheat cereal yellow box. Anyways mix shredded wheat with water until it turns into doughball then mix in vanilla flavoring. Cheap and easy as pie to carry and mix with water where your fishing. Best bait advise ever!!
Congrats on the new species. I love common carp. They fight hard and are a lot of fun
Your release is very respectful.
Except for carp,its elligal to throw carp back.
Dude, your videos give me the charge to go fishing when it will open. I'm saying this because i'm italian and you what's going here...
Cazzo
Try using circle hooks and go through the bottom jaw and up through the top jaw and out. The beauty of circle hooks is that you don't need to set the hook as it will automatically pull into the corner of the mouth as the fish turns away.
When the rains come in spring and fall this is an awesome spot to fish. Used to fish it all the time with my grandpa when I was a kid.
Thanks UA-cam for the recommendation. Needed to chill and this great for that. I'm gonna watch a few.
See ya later buddy.
Nice carp my friend! They fight really hard and when they see the net they get mad!
haha I noticed that! Thanks for watching man
What we do usually is we put the net in the water first and guided the fish to the net, that way you only need to scoop from the bottom. The fishes are not as mad that way.
@@29chhangte how do they know what the net is to get mad? Aren't they mad already? I'm a fisherman too..
Bringing Clarity to Confusion i dont know, but when you are reeling in, and your net isnt in the water yet, so you usually splash the water while trying to scoop the fish. But if the net is already in the water there is no extra movements. I dont know if i explain it clear or not. Hope you get the idea...
I just can't understand how he's never caught a common before, being from Illinois. I grew up in central/E central Iowa (if the weather people and their maps can ever decide lol) and I've caught them all my life. Lakes, rivers, ponds. Hell me and a buddy even caught them in a run off creek from a lake while catching creek chubs.
Carp are one of the most awesome species to catch if you ask me, along with tench (which you guys don't have over in the US). They fight so freaking hard. I think it would be fun to see you specifically targeting carp occasionally :) I think you could have quite a bit of success over there. Here, we have the problem that they are caught so often that they learn how to recognise end tackle and lines and stuff, but I guess over there that won't be the case at the spots you tend to fish. And another plus: they can get really, really huge. Over at my favourite fishing spot over here in the Netherlands, there are apparently some 60 pounders and tons of 40 pound carp.
man carp are so much fun to catch so I'll definitely be targeting them in the future.. I have one spot where there are some giants!
@@618Fishing Awesome man! Definitely looking forward to that! Keep up the great vids! You're about the only fishing channel that I devoutly watch every time a new vid comes out :)
Haven’t read the thousand plus comments (nice) but your common carp looks like a King Carp one of the rarer carp varieties. Love your vids from the UK 👍
Yeah carp are a huge feature fish in the UK and Europe. A lot of people here are constantly chasing them. The bigger lake fish are often heavy but don't always fight that hard but fight for a long time. The 10to 25lb mark fight hard and if your lucky enough to have river carp locally lb for lb not much else fights harder. Awesome vid
Please come back to this spillway.
Lezzi Gang this a great place not many people fish this one
