Love how transparent and free the vibes are with the inner workings of this channel now Carl. All without sacrificing quality and entertainment. You’re killing it, bruv. Keep going.

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks Alex. This means a lot!

[@GGXjimmy]

I came to say this!

[@alexjones8296]

What a breath of fresh air your channel is, Carl. Been carping for 20 yrs and watched many films on you tube. Recently found your channel and have been watching loads of your back catalogue. Love the locations, commentary, cinematography, music etc. your tutorial stuff is perfect for people just getting into the sport. Please keep doing what you’re doing, Carl. Your honesty about the pond build is absolutely what should happen, life isn’t straight forward and if the company can’t handle an honest appraisal, that’s their problem. Looking forward to your next film.❤️

[@fishwithcarl]

Wow, thanks so much Alex, means a lot to hear that. Glad you enjoy the films. Agree :) life isn't straightforward, it means a lot to me to be open and real.

Good on you a Carl. You got it exactly spot on. Don't be bullied into saying what they want you to say if its untrue. It was a perfect opportunity for them to work with you to get it right & demonstrate what their workmanship, products & service where about. This wouldve got them more business in the long run. Stick to your principles it will serve you well & you will be able to look at yourself in the mirror & rest easy. Keep doing what your doing

[@fishwithcarl]

Thank you Charlie, appreciate it. Exactly.

[@heavyvoodoo]

Truly amazing content, love the film work and editing. Your hard work does not go unnoticed. Great angling and keep up the good work guys. Appreciate these quality organic videos. Pretty much the only fishing videos I watch these days when I fancy some fishing content. Thank you 👊😎

[@fishwithcarl]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the film :) :)

[@markatkinson2594]

Gotta say I like the newer format with you fishing against different anglers, and I especially like the videos with you and Cal and you and Omi, makes for great viewing so well done people's, keep up the great work 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 💙❤️💙❤️💙

[@josephquinn7356]

I’m commenting from the US, where carp fishing unfortunately is not considered “worthy”. I couldn’t disagree more, and watching your channel brought back great memories of carp fishing (one time with my daughter I’ll never forget). I’m 57yrs old now and thanks to you (and your brother) I’m back on the banks again carp-fishing for the big’ons with the same passion I had years ago! Keep em’ coming!!! Best-Joe

[@fishwithcarl]

Yes it's a shame carp are seen as trash fish over there, but seems like more Americans are getting into it slowly :) It's so lovely to hear that the channel brings back some find memories for you and your daughter. Thanks for sharing that and I'm so pleased you're bank out there fishing again! Cheers Joe, tight lines! Carl

[@MorrowProduction]

We are all definitely going to miss Alex being on the show, but we can't force him to stay :) Maybe some guest appearances in a year or two to kind of give your old fan-base a nostalgia kick :) On the flip side: it's always cool seeing you guys bring or meet other fishermen along the way. The mates you met in the US along with some of your other videos showing one time guests have been some of the best content :)

[@geoffvalenti]

Great video again, Carl. You're right, honesty is always the best policy. It's nice to be able to trust what you say about how you fished a lake or river, or how a certain project went. Sometimes things don't go smoothly, but real life documentation of the facts is just so much more interesting than the sanitised version. So many videos on KZbin make fishing look ridiculously easy as they edit it down to the catches only. We all know that it's not like that, and your videos are always true to life.

[@fishwithcarl]

I just know that life has ups and downs! I wanna share it all, even if I don't look so good or cool because of it. Cheers for watching! :)

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

I love fishing in ditches like this for carp and tilapia. It's so simple and rewarding, yet it can be very challenging.

[@dragonflame583]

21:10 I love the honesty, it's refreshing like a baby's breath which everyone should have . Nice vid once again, keep it up!

Great video Carl keeping coming nice to see a pond update. 😊

[@shanerinaldi9664]

Love your videos and fully appreciate your honesty. Keep it going Carlo 👍🏼

[@soccerfiend03]

You know, Carl, your chemistry with Alex is and was undeniable. Having said that, I really enjoy your videos now, a year ago, two years ago, etc. They really brighten up my weekend. I have been lazy and I haven't subscribed to Alex's channel yet but I will and I hope that there are some collabs in the future of brother vs. brother antics. Keep up the great work! Also, Ami (pretty sure I spelled that wrong) has been your rock for a long time now and as a fan I am grateful that she helps you with your anxiety and keeping this channel going strong. Once again, I'm the Wyoming guy with the "funny" accent.

[@rcfungames]

Now that was an epic adventure, great watching you guys explore that small River and catching those cool carp. Excellent work like always love your videos 🔥💯🔥

[@tonymarshall4164]

Beautiful video Carl, as always. Fishing rivers was always my favourite form of fishing when I lived in the UK. This video brought back some special memories....Wonderful content, great camera work from Cal and he certainly knows how to fish....The pond by the way looks incredible....Thanks for the video guys....keep up the good work 👍

[@fishwithcarl]

You're so welcome Tony. Thanks for the kind comment, that's lovely to hear. Really happy it brought back some fond memories for you :) love this kind of river fishing, very special. Yes he's doing great! It's been a great support to have him on the team.

[@jackince1656]

This channels production quality is so good, keep up the good work Carl

[@suzypennycook3047]

Carl I had a similar experience with my pond build. The builder got lots of work when I was posting on koi groups about the build but when I gave her a snagging list things turned very different. You were fortunate to get Matt to sort the fibreglassing; he's probably the best in the business. Of course you should speak the truth to prevent others being seriously disappointed when an expensive dream turns into stress.

[@fishwithcarl]

I was sorry to hear you had issues too Suzy, hope you've made some progress. Yes that's how it felt, it did turn into stress but thankful all has been resolved by the help of some great tradesmen. Yes was very glad he was able to patch up the leak so well. Exactly. It's important to raise awareness as it's not ok to pay large quantities of money for a sub-par job which another company may've done very well for the same money. And not ok when it even costs more money to fix mistakes.

[@tonylocke3010]

as someone who a) was brought up fishing small rivers, b) fishes almost exclusively for river carp and c)likes to get away from the madding crowd, I would like to say thanks for this lovely video. For me it is not just about catching fish, it is also about fishing in beautiful places with interesting wildlife that I might be lucky enough to see.

[@CraigRobinson1979]

Another great video. I can't wait for the stuff you have coming up. Regarding the pond build. You are one hundred percent correct. You can't hoodwink your audience. Honesty is everything if you are a youtuber. You have a responsibility. Well played sir. 👍

Loved the vid ❤ most of my fishing this yr has been in a creek. I'm an Englishman that lives in NY so all the carp I fish for are wild ones. I've broken my pb 5xs this yr with the largest being a 30lber. Keep up the great work 😁👍🎣🐟

I’m new to fishing Carl, 33 years old and your channel showed me how to tie a hook on, but I’ve been enjoying learning and so far my biggest fish I’ve caught is a bream, going for carp next, your videos inspire me to wanna go test myself more! Love them.

[@fishwithcarl]

Ah happy to hear this :) pleased you're loving it and that the films have helped you learn. Made up hearing this. Well done on the bream!! Yes it's a great to catch those first fish, and the feeling to keep challenging and going for the next ones. I love how it can focus us and be so exciting, and the joy when you catch it is like nothing else :) And the calm in can bring too. All the best with it!!

[@dt1607]

Great video again. I can't believe you always manage to get away with a single tuck on your knot, I've seen that knot fail on many occasions, only a couple of my own since starting to double tuck it hasn't slipped. The only thing i can think of is you must be really gentle when playing your fish. 😁👍👏👏

[@brockfordjunktion]

I've been a fan of wide gape hooks in size 8 for a long time. I spent last year playing around with different lead arrangements and rigs and it was a slow year for catching fish. I'd had some luck with slip d rigs but got into a bit of a funk having struggled to put fish in the net. Having watched several of your videos from the last few years recently I got the itch, and went out a few days ago. I've now broken a 6 month carp blank with my first winter carp in years, and it was a beautiful mid-double 2 tone mirror. Keep up the great work, thanks for all the videos over the years.

Great vid Carl. Small river Carp fishing is fantastic stuff. Catching in those conditions too was pretty good too. Just a thought, but in water that shallow and at such close quarters maybe trying to float fish for the Carp in holes in the lillies might be fun instead of using the alarms. Looking forward to seeing the new vids from you too. Tight lines, mate.☺🎣
