Lads, this should be its own TV show not just a KZbin videos. I've been on KZbin since the whole thing began and honestly I'm yet to find a youtuber/ channel who edit and produce their videos as well as you guys! Good effort lads. Keep them coming.

[@fishwithcarl]

Haha, we like KZbin though, because anyone can watch, whenever they like! A TV show would be pretty cool though, maybe it will happen one day. Who knows!!! Cheers!!

[@austinsummers4232]

You guys are freekin epic. Love carp fishing here in states. Not alot of people are about it. But i absolutely love ot. Caught my personal best common and mirror last year. And im shooting for bigger. Thanks for making the vids. Helped me learn alot.

[@kennyrichardson1836]

Yea it should

[@GitHubStiizz]

@@fishwithcarl Netflix mate, give them a ring lol

[@localhouseshitter7213]

@@fishwithcarl please do it! I love your channel! Marc R is right, everyone would love that show! By the way, do you fish something else than carp? I don’t think i have seen you do that

[@finnwilliams3945]

The nostalgia I get from watching your old videos is truly magical. Such masterpieces, and it's beautiful to see what you guys have become and are becoming.

[@LondonPredatorAngler]

once again, epic! your videos just keep getting better and better lads, there is no one out there on youtube IMO who makes independent fishing video as good as yourselves. you have to be very proud....

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks dude!! Thanks so so much for this comment!!

[@LondonPredatorAngler]

your welcome! hope oneday I can be of ur standards ;) hope to see more predator videos at some point...

[@fishwithcarl]

Good luck with it dude! And yeah come winter we aught to be out doing some predator fishing ;)

[@LondonPredatorAngler]

+Carl and Alex Fishing nice one lads...

[@alfiekeyes1265]

PredatorBites UK I watch your vids very good

[@BoAngles]

Seeing the quality of your videos from 5 years ago(!) is just crazy! You two are extremely talented! Excited to see where your channel goes!

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks so much! :)

[@totalfishinguk4897]

what did the big scaley weigh not that it matters but what size was it anyway

[@jamiegilmartin835]

I must say that was brilliant not only brilliant fishing the edit was amazing put together perfect and in the end up getting the beast herself brilliant just brilliant

[@snipers12344]

+1

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks Jamie :)

[@Yusufnpk]

This is a tradition of mine to come back and watch this haha. Try get out there and make a 3rd one for me 😂 🙏🏻

[@ssmmooth]

I seem to watch this every year as spring starts to feel like it's starting up. Birds singing and on the brink of turning warm. This is properly inspiring everytime I watch it. I'm sure in another 6/7 years I'll still be watching this!

[@fishwithcarl]

Yesss, love that feeling :)

[@jameswalshaw5492]

Any chance of a part 3 Carl an alex? totally love these res diaries

[@fishwithcarl]

Making some big big plans now but not sure if it will happen... We will see!

[@LiamJProduction]

Carl and Alex Fishing do some more at this place pls

[@thebrummiebankers3878]

James Walshaw finally 😄😄😄

[@jameshinley6935]

Fantastic stuff again lads. Come on the, what did she weigh?!

[@SuperDeanp]

Great video again guys. Some 30 years ago, I had the same drive and enthusiasm as you have now, watching these videos brings it all flooding back. As for the water ban, I also suffered the same fate in similar circumstances, from an Essex water many years ago, but went on to find a couple of cracking little waters and never looked back......maybe fate, maybe you wouldn't have caught that cracking mirror had things been different. Sadly for me, carp have been off the radar for a number of years now, due to living in a land with no freshwater, but thankfully, great videos like yours and Alan Blair's, still keep the fire burning and one day I will return and bag a couple of beauties again.....cheers lads, keep it coming.

[@fishwithcarl]

You are absolutely right about the water ban, it really did us a favour in the end! Hope you keep enjoying the videos, and really hope you get out fishing again soon and catch a whopper :)

[@hrodfishing]

I just don't get it, how Carl and Alex got only 38/40k subscribers, and they do an excelent vídeo edition, great footage, good fish... they deserve more :) And then you have Jon B apbassin 1rod1reel etc, with 200 / 300k subs..

[@fishwithcarl]

Haha Hugo, I guess we have to remember that we do carp fishing videos and there are more bass fishermen than carp fishermen! Thanks for the support though, maybe one day we will do better!

[@danikiss1733]

That was the best KZbin video i'd ever seen.

[@hamishmacphersom7807]

Spent the last week watching your incredible journeys, the highs and lows and the beautiful texture of life unfold as you grow up . Please always take care of each other , and never forget the journey you have been on together. Well done on giving nature it's place in your amazing videos.

[@benhatch8067]

Can't believe someone made up rumours about you!!!

[@crackoffski]

jealousy in the carp fishing world is rife. Step around it, ignore it, and just let the fishing do the talking.

[@cash1official]

its cos they suck eachother off

[@tomdragt5332]

yeah, me to...

[@benhatch8067]

freshcreps 97 lovely

[@jamieburton896]

Nothing to do with jealousy, lakes that remain secrets will become well known if people like Carl and Alex fish them. Sadly, the park lake's name got out and the place has been ruined since, even if they don't actually release the name of the lakes people find out the name and the water will get flooded by new anglers, often ruining the fishing

[@Reelfishinguk]

Epic lads and big well done on the Target and 2 wicked commons.

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks Dan!! We were so lucky to catch what we did this year so happy! :)

[@jonfisher5946]

Unbelievable guys!!! Awesome video :) you guys have a real talent!

[@fishwithcarl]

Thank you Jon!!

[@DennysOn]

Fantastic editing and fishing. The song at the end was spot on with getting the emotions and anticipation going. Great job lads HUGE thumbs up!!

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks Darrel!! Loads of time goes into trying to pick the right tracks and we took a few chances this year! lol thanks a lot dude!

[@IsabellaDemarko]

amazing film

[@fishwithcarl]

+Isabella Demarko Thank you! Lovely to hear from you :)

[@Jonalexxx]

Who is still watching this in 2020?? I’m still in awe at the production is this!! I wish this video didn’t have copyright strikes cuz this was all hard work and dedication from Carl and Alex!! What a video! Mad respect guys! Well done!

[@matthewharris4311]

There really are some sad bitter individuals about. It's the part of fishing I hate! Luckily I don't encounter too many people like this myself, but with your success guys you are going to attract attention from jealous idiots! Ignore the haters, keep doing what you are doing because to most of us its truly inspiring. Us real anglers appreciate the hard work that goes into making these videos, especially whilst trying to concentrate on catching fish haha. Keep up the good work. Another great vid :-)

[@fishwithcarl]

+Matthew Harris Thanks Matthew, kind of you to say, glad you appreciate, the time and effort we put in!!! :) Tight lines mate!!!

[@beargaming4682]

You should have a go at stanbourgh lakes. carp up to 39lbs there and pike up to 20lbs. I always have a good time fishing there

[@mrbtboydify]

Alida is that in Essex

[@beargaming4682]

No its in great britain

[@mrbtboydify]

Yes alida Essex is in grt Britain there's stanbourgh lake in Essex. And up the road is grt stanbridge. So wondering if that's the place you were mentioning.

[@beargaming4682]

No its in Welwyn garden city

[@shazpatel8936]

How do you find it fishing there, hardly get any out there these days and stopped fishing it..

[@nuffinbutfishing]

Mint video as always guys and some mint fish! Honestly one of your best :) Effort equals reward, that big scaley was a minter! Shame about the rumours being spread about you. Fishing can be a pathetic world at times. Keep at it lads :)

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks Joe, big up!!! Well if making this video taught us anything it would be to stick at it even when others try and mess things up for you. It all came good in the end! :) Cheers for the comment man, keep up the good work ;)

[@Roman-hx8rw]

8 Times watched and still nice❤

[@willhedges4728]

best programme ever

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks Will!!

[@rossross4730]

Carl , Alex amazing, I’m been enquiring about the res. I’m moving down that way soon and hopefully get a ticket. Any info?

[@Angling_addict]

This is probably my favourite video made by carl

[@benkearney4280]

What rumours did they spread ? Good video guys.

[@jaybay5939]

i think filming or leaving litter

[@shazpatel8936]

That Alex and Carl and the pied Piper for fish

[@Spacey7]

You lads are awesome 😊 Do you ever go back to the Res? 🐟🐟

[@FishingWithKen]

So amazing, guys!!! You might just convince me to target these fish here in CA! Watching your unbridled enthusiasm for carp is contagious! Greets from the States! :0)

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks Ken!! Very kind of you to leave such a nice comment :)

[@medicatedflowers821]

Boys I have watched this countless times and still makes the hairs on my arms stand up at the end I can’t wait too get out in the next couple of weeks

[@masongoodhind341]

Great Video......What does the 'Big Scaley' Weigh?

[@samtittensor8994]

Does it matter?!

[@parkesy5158]

+Sam Tittensor i kinda want to know as well

[@alexiasimmons1]

+Parkesy me too

[@powershed]

congrats on catching the fish you wanted to my bigest fish is 17 pound2 ounces

[@fishwithcarl]

Cheers! Well done on your big carp :) Skills!

[@carpertomscratchcards]

how big did big scvaily go

[@BasicFishingNZ]

it was pretty cool at the beginning how the osprey dived for a fish. looks like u had an awesome session despite the cold weather lol

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks man! Glad someone noticed the osprey, good spot ;) Cheers!

[@BasicFishingNZ]

haha lol its one of my favourite birds of prey

[@alex.ellson]

Brilliant brilliant work boys. Staggering to see the maturity and quality of your work come on so much in the last few years. The future is bright!

[@fishwithcarl]

Cheers Alex!! Onwards and upwards!! Always! :) Thanks again!!!

[@technomickdocumentalist2495]

That was epic, I've just watched part 1, then this one. Absolutely loved them, you guys are within the best role models for youngsters coming into angling, and you guys fish so cohesively together as'well. The way Carl said yes " we " have scaley when you netted it for Alex was so genuine, you could tell you were just as happy for your besty to catch that great fish as you would be for yourself to have had it. Really great video guys, I hope your both in good health, and carry on producing such great films for a long time to come.

[@lloyddpowell9149]

Love your vids bro can’t believe u can catch all those fish 🎣 you helping me so much through quarantine🎣🎣

[@mattmorinishi5870]

This was honestly the best youtube video I have ever watched. The time and work that you guys put in to do what you love is inspiring, and it's even better that you take the extra time to share it with the world. So rad to see you guy's living your passion, keep it up!

[@fishwithcarl]

+Matt Morinishi Sweet!!! So glad to hear it! Big thanks!!!

[@neilgillam900]

Well done boys you definitely have that passion for angling

[@fishwithcarl]

Cheers Neil!

[@cronas12]

Epic Fish, Epic Fishing, Epic Production, Epic Video and some seriously Epic skills! That has to be without doubt the best video I have ever seen. Editing, music build up were all perfect! I truly believe someone not into fishing could have watched that and been hooked from start to finish. Been watching you both grow through your videos and every video gets better and better. I agree with +Hugo Rodrigues you deserve way more subscribers Congratulations! can't wait for the next instalment from Carl and Alex

[@fishwithcarl]

BEST COMMENT EVER :) Thanks so much ;)

[@onemaninaboat]

Last diary was great, but this one set the bar extremely high (from a filmmaking point of view). I am having a bit of a laugh when I think of rather lame videos produced by some tackle companies ;) PS: Awesome night shots towards the end, how on earth did you pull it off!!??

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks Marcin!!! Glad you like the video!!! As for night shots, pushing the shutter speed as far as possible, using a fast lens shot wide open and a lovely big moon helped!!

[@joetully5018]

Fantastic video yet again lads! What is the song at the end its not in the description!

[@littlelegs6532]

The presentation of this video is absolutely outstanding lads,I have not fished for a few years now and this video actually made me want to dust my own rods off....adding to this my 7 year old continually watches your videos and all I get is Carl and Alex did this and that,it amazes me how much he has picked up,from your videos....great work lads and I wish you all the best.

[@fishwithcarl]

Haha Rick, thats awesome!!! Glad you and your son enjoy the videos!!! :) Good luck if you do go fishing some time soon! :)

[@Nobody423]

Very shortsightedness on the syndicate owners behalf, you'd bring fresh challenges to any lake owner and tbh it would make me fish harder to,keep,up,and use you're knowledge, as for spreading rumours well that's just jealous scared fishermen on the syndicate who would clearly be shown up by to,young very skilled fishermen, hats off to,you guys you just get on with what you do best.

[@fishwithcarl]

True mate, thanks alot Brett. Cant please everyone though can you! lol! Cheers for the comment dude :)

[@chrson2706]

Absolutely awesome video - i've been subscribed to this channel for a while now and its been a pleasure watching the quality of successive videos improve with every release; outstanding work...once again.

[@fishwithcarl]

Cheers Cameron!!! :)

[@keepthespirit4791]

Unbelievable

[@joshuanewall3041]

absolutely phenomenal video..shame it wasn't longer...that good I might watch it again. keep up the good work lads..you two have got me right back into my carp fishing..can't wait to get back on the bank! thanks guys

[@fishwithcarl]

Haha we always try to make the videos too short... When they are too long people get bored and fall asleep. lol ;)

[@andersjensen1713]

What kind of music are you using and where can i find it.

[@ringerheringa3052]

Hi guys, Superb job! This is a milestone in every aspect. Beats all carp videos done before this one. Period! Only you can top this, but that's gonna be a hell of a job. Olympic? What olympic? These are the games we want. ( By the way:so glad you kicked the shit out of those two assholes.)

[@Pavol_P]

Hey. Are You Guys Ever Going To Ireland? Lovely Carp Here! Especially Oakland Lakes In New Ross

[@adamschannelofallsorts2190]

6 years ago its mad love s1-2 the res definitely some of your top work and the views its had dont it justice.........one day I will stalk you lads to have a fish on some of are beautiful lakes in telford we have so much to other we are spoilt up in Shropshire for fishing........my PB carp 32lb common still from tanyard thanks to you boys if it wasrnt for your vids I wouldn't of ever gone down to tanyard..............

Guys it`s me again. I have another question. Once I asked what drone you use and that time it was the mavic pro. So slowly im trying to figure out how these things work and now sae theses goggles where you can watch with the drones eye and control the drones move itself with your head movements and stuff. Are you doing that, too? Or you`re just using the good ol`remote control and check later what you have filmed? Thx alot in advance and best wishes from Germany, again. :)

[@francolinobasco]

One of your best films, however they are all darn good viewing, from the soundtrack selection to the editing and the astral time-lapse it was simply a joy to watch,I hope your house move goes well for all of you. Tight lines Mark.

[@fishwithcarl]

+Mark Erdwin Hi Mark! Thanks for the comment ;) lovely to hear from a fellow videographer!! :)

[@1977missmarie]

Good video and some lovely looking carp. I've watched every single video, your my favourite fisherman of KZbin and I hope you get 50 k u deserve it 👍

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks Deven! Glad you liked watching!!!! Cheers!!! 50K here we come!!! yay

[@Alki46D]

Fun to watch. My wife is from Sheerness and when I began fishing, I had no idea carp were a game fish in England. I went out one day here in the US and caught quite a few carp. Among them were a few mirror and two linear mirror carp. Her best friend, a woman, loved up the picture and then posted a 33 pound mirror she had just caught right behind her house on the Isle of Sheppey. Thanks for making me look like a dick, Layla. Haha!

[@BMSHINCPR]

very lucky lad's... watched a lot of your videos from when you was younger in France ect, great supporting parents and you have done really well! and great fishermen.. keep it up lad's!! you be the next big fish off presenters hahaha 😆

[@KyTaundry]

What an absolute masterpiece been buzzing for this for so long and it was so worth the wait. I wish it didn't have to end!

[@tomj1604]

Hi I was just wondering if you have any tips for me as i'm trying hard to try and beat my pb carp of 15lb and also what line do you use ?- Thomas

[@arthurhunt1377]

Fish Oakwood park predator lakes? Cats upto 125lb carp upto 35+

[@muhammedparuk4890]

Greetings from South Africa. Small question .....when u say the reservoir is pretty deep,what depth are u talking? As it gets colder you would target the shallower water, how shallow? I know your winter is way more severe than ours but here is SA we get amongst the bigger fish more in the winter as the small fish and other species are much less active.

[@hpfurlong]

What were the rumours

[@sambraybrook7587]

Carl and alex for a nice surface fishing session i reccomend going to the millpond,Tarrington in Hereford its a lovely small lake with 20+ carp in there.

[@judderzm2252]

Congratulations to you both you smashed it both really nice lads well deserved enjoyed 1 and 2 well done 🤘 ps the weight of the big scaley??

[@wrgames2375]

Hay Carl and Alex I recommend mossfarm fisheries they have 6 well stocked lakes the specimen lake has a 27lb fish and a fish called Oreo it a great place ps specimen lake is now member thing but is good and here's the website check and could u tel me what u think I go there often mossfarmfisheries.wix.com/moss

[@DDGXMUSIC]

I went on an overnight carp school last night and caught two 6 pounders and 1 8 pounder gosh I was waiting ages our rods were catching most of the fish lol we were there over night we got 1 of the six pounders at 2:30 at night and the other six pounder and 8 pounder were in the day

[@N0Nam3game]

I’m 26 now and I’ve followed these 2 brothers for the past 10 years or more right back to quest for a 20. I felt like we were always fishing similarly with the stages of fishing at the same sort of times. It’s a crying shame they don’t work together anymore 😢 Hopefully one day they do…🤞🏼all the best guys.
