Carp fishing on rivers can be challenging but very rewarding. We spot a big mirror carp in the river and set about trying to catch it!

Wow, I can’t remember when I last saw such stunning pictures 😱

[@fishwithcarl]

Maybe when you last watched a Carl and Alex Fishing video? 😂 jokes x

[@dazgames]

Love this channel! We should go fishing together!

[@jofish1967]

And little did we know 11 months later they did😂😂 greatest video ever lol😂😂

[@maxbarber4675]

And they did

[@christopherosullivan4550]

I've been on the bank all morning waiting for a bite and the new Carl and Alex video...atleast I got one !!!!

[@fishwithcarl]

Haha unlucky about the fishing, but glad we could cheer you up!

[@FinlYBiGMaN]

The quality and edits in this video is the stuff you see on tv

[@DamienE11]

Better even. No disrespect to my locally made shows in Australia but few if any have the quality of these videos. From the camerawork to the editing, everything is superb.

[@liamcross3882]

Innit

[@kozma9736]

Nope they are better than tv shows my nature tv shows have low budget ao tue editing and quality is like in 2002

[@andrewjones4050]

40,000 views in 24hrs 100,000 + subscription. The best editing out there . Very surprised you haven't monetised you're vlogs yet . Slap a couple of adverts in there, we wont mind 👍👍👍👍

[@fishwithcarl]

Much love Andrew! :)

[@snagglepuss1st]

great video as usual. why no ads guys? this is your livelihood now, monetise your content. also id like to see more regular content, just a weekly 8-10 minute update inbetween your epics, show us your pond, a bit of your day to day fishing, show us any new kit youve been enjoying using etc. imo itll help pull in and keep subscribers

[@leefoxall5812]

Surely the best portrayal of the anticipation of June 16th since 'A Passion For Angling'. Utterly superb filming - the atmosphere was intense, sublime and truly epic. Fabulous work - well done.

[@fishwithcarl]

Thank you so much. I think after reading this comment I can now just retire. Haha cheers Richard.

[@-BOOMA-]

You know you've made it lads if you get compared to a passion for angling !!!! I totally agree with that comment tho. 1 question tho boys Wheres your cane rods and wicker baskets 😁

[@filip5903]

Just the intro deserves a like alone 📸 👍

[@fishwithcarl]

Hehe glad you liked it!

[@ZervIZA]

You guys are so lucky to be able to catch carp everywhere you fish.The lake I fish is so pressured and I normally catch one carp every 2-3 months and the most annoying thing is that I do everything you guys do.

[@daveeagling9372]

Really enjoyed that. Older anglers like myself will remember how exciting it was to cast the rods out on June the 16th. Also so refreshing to see a venue where the fish don’t have names.

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks Dave!

[@matthewtanner9823]

Great video Guys. I loved the timelapse at 15:28 and couldn't help watching the slug go at 20mph around the brolly. I fished the quarry last week Alex and had run after run on freelined corn, I'm sure I'll soon be into one of the bigger residents in there. I'll make sure to photograph it if I'm lucky enough and show you the photo.

[@fishwithcarl]

Thank you so much Matthew! Good luck down the quarry please let us know if you catch a biggy! :)

[@alanhaigh9682]

It's always always Alex who blanks and then gets the big fish. Watch the videos back I'm sure of it. Well done excellant video as always

[@andrewnewman3229]

You guys have captured perfectly the excitement, anticipation and that magic feeling every angler experiences come the 16th June as they head to their go to swim. That feeling never leaves you regardless of age/experience/time. Made my Monday morning commute into London today much more enjoyable! Thanks!

[@antonstampe3834]

Such a Nice movie i could watch it All day so chilled and dramatic at same time 100 % My favorite C&A film 💪👍😁

[@tomvance3932]

Top class lads! That was an absolute pleasure from an angling and cinematography point of view. Thank you!

[@-BOOMA-]

Everything is so much better fishing the rivers. The unknown beats fishing stocked lakes hands down every time if you ask me. This video is absolutely quality boys Best one so far

[@carlharris2481]

Some cracking shots of the scenery that's what makes fishing even better, waking up to a beautiful morning. So happy for you all that you caught and especially Alex for landing that monster. Tightlines 🎣👌✌️

[@jakepalmer8668]

Your videos are truly amazing a massive thanks from everyone for the content

[@douwedejong3897]

Awsome video again lads! All your video’s make me want to visit the UK again. Greets from The Netherlands!

[@caymancostas4045]

You lads always put on a wonderful show never disappoint!

[@saintsfan5379]

These are the only videos I love to watch repeatedly, quality is just phenomenal.

[@martinwaterfield6528]

Guys the footage you have on this video is stunning. I have to admit I have watched it more than once.

[@goodogear1594]

Well you know what fish has been eating all the prebait. Excellent video, brought a big smile to my face. Thank you.

[@SwayClannn]

one of the best produced videos i’ve seen in a while and it has to be my favourite video i’ve watched in a while

[@fishwithcarl]

Thank you Sway!!! :)

[@alexpage7292]

Guys I’ve got to say that these aren’t just videos anymore, they are quality mini films and really professional and enjoyable to watch. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻 Tight lines 🎣

[@markphelps8003]

Big fan of your channel!!! Just wish there were more content more often!!!

[@rickgregory1]

Another great story told well. Thanks also for allowing us to enjoy the excitement of your June 16th build up. So important for wildlife and anglers that the close season is retained.

[@samscollective5885]

Cracking video you guys been watching you since I was 9 yrs old and have watched all your vids. Amazing to see people so enthusiastic and passionate about the sport🤙🎣

[@RicTic66]

Wow what a fabulous video lads. So atmospheric you are definitely becoming established film makers. England is indeed a green and pleasant land and you show it in all its glory combined with fabulous shots of the fish and other wildlife your vlogs are amongst the very best on KZbin. I also love the way you involve friends and loved ones it makes us the viewer feel we are all part of your continuing adventures. Thank you Carl, Alex and all your friends who together (imho) produce the finest fishing vlogs out there. 🐟 😊🖒

[@kronixsmoke]

Honestly guys you 2 have made me get back out there and fish gave up for a long time but the knowledge you share in your vids shines new light on otherwise cloudy water so thank you from a young angler

[@giggertee96]

Was so over the moon you guys had started doing this full time and I absolutely have NOT been disappointed! Videos have been fantastic and you guys have always had an extra element of professionalism with the interview style narrations👌

[@ap87rogers64]

This is Carl and Alex at their best ! Loved the quest for park 40 and reservoir diaries . Keep up good work guys 🎣🎣

[@CustomFishing_EU]

I am 99% spin fisherman, but yours carp (and all) videos are excellent, the best fishing movies what I have ever seen in youtube. Greetings from Slovakia.

[@fishwithcarl]

Thank you so much! What species do you mostly fish for in Slovakia?

[@CustomFishing_EU]

@@fishwithcarl My target fishes are chub, perch, barbel, zander, asp and trout with artifical lures and sometimes with fly fishing.

[@jeanvaljean7369]

It is always a great pleasure to watch your videos, I follow you from the beginning of your adventure, good editing quality, beautiful fish and can not wait to see your next outing! It's just great, I learned a lot with your techniques, thank you. A hello from France, keep it really good 😁

[@sandorkovacs9271]

oh my word! photography wise: you guys made the most of the morning golden hour, i still cant believe the footage you pulled off. absolutely sensational. quite a few moments i that burnt in my mind because they were so beautiful that i can only imagine, how beautiful they must been in real time. well done boys, fantastic light captures and great editing. Fishing wise: i cant remember seeing this going viral on the 16th on June all over the newspapers that Carl and Alex officially opened the open season with a massive river carp. we all should have seen this in the newspaper. and this anticipation with the alarm. this is insane you guys are nuts but geniouses at the same time :) you could make this live next time and make it to a fishing reality show but then again people would go out and start to annoy you on the spot. nevermind. and this mirror. jesus christ holy mary and josef. i have never seen a prettier carp. a well earned fish. you guys spared no expenses on bait and legwork, absolutely deserve this golden globe of a carp award.

[@stephenfield4588]

Great video guys, I'm not a carp fisherman but love my river fishing, the quality of your filming, your enthusiasm about fishing makes your videos a joy to watch. Well done

[@UncalBertExcretes]

Nice to see you lads doing a proper bit of river carping! Flying solo is the best addition to your channel, leaving the mainstream puddle of mud fishing scene in favour for some proper angling!

[@DevonLerfer]

Stunning video yet again guys. I dont do any coarse fishing but always watch your stuff from start to finish, regardless of where you're fishing! Beautifully edited and entertaining from start to finish. Keep up the great work 👍🎣

[@NachtwaechterSchlafprodukte]

Quality and content and color management is superb. Lots of fun to watch too! No over hyped cheering and high fives all the time. Just serious and very well made! Kudos and thank you!

Thank you!

You two do a great job with your vids, there a great watch done really well and your not too bad at angling. Keep it up chaps

Stupidly I started watching this whilst on the loo 😀 now I've got a numb arse and 2 dead legs ! Dam you and your brilliant videos. Echoes of the park lake campaign at the end when you caught the big one.

[@rsWez2000]

Hard work pays off and you pair always seem to give a 100% top job 👍👍

Quality video! I only just recently started fishing and you guys have taught me all I know so far!

Great episode :D An idea for an episode for the 1st of April - perhaps Carl could catch the bigger fish?

[@fishwithcarl]

Hahaha good one ;)

[@TheAbhorsen2]

Great video guys! I really enjoyed this, i loved the time lapse and the cinematography its really top notch! And a wonderful big fish never hurts! 👍

The cinematography and editing of these videos is outstanding. We all appreciate the time you guys put into these productions. Also when will we be seeing a fly fishing for pike video?

[@coreyanderson8830]

Hey, great video!!! I love watching your videos... especially the old pole fishing ones. I’d love to see more pole fishing on the float (with worms)

You are the new Hugh Miles, Alex! Stunning!

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks for watching Richard!

[@Jeftaaa]

I've been watching about 20-30 movies of you in the past week or so and I really love the content, guys! Especially the ones like this one where you got the story telling worked out like a pro. My favorite so far is the bigger campaigns like on the reservoir or in the states. Thnx for the awesome content. (btw, I've not even been an angler myself for the past 15 years or so. you guys are reigniting an old love for fishing for me ;) )
