Carping 2024 - Ep.5: Shot on the Hook/Beneath The Surface ft. Galen of ONTCarpn

[@FatTony83]

Nice Work!

[@WilliamMuschett]

@@FatTony83 Thank you kindly!

[@timmarshall7903]

Always fascinating to see how wild carp react to bait and rigs. No surprise that it can take awhile to get apickup

[@WilliamMuschett]

@timmarshall7903 It was eye opening for me for sure! Glad it was an enjoyable watch!

[@ontcarpn]

Could not agree more. Can be challenging. Glad they showed up for this session hungry. Prebaiting helped

[@screamingcarpruns7236]

Amazing. The mirror getting hooked on camera was something else, very cool.

[@WilliamMuschett]

@screamingcarpruns7236 I don't think I need to describe to you how excited I was, I feel my reaction speaks for itself! Cheers Harry!

[@ontcarpn]

Couldn’t believe we got a chance at a mirror and so happy Will’s rig prevailed! 👌

[@carpnwiththemartins]

Epic buddy, absolute incredible clip and can’t wait to see many more 👏👏👏

[@WilliamMuschett]

Much love Sean!

[@TheAnglerFiles]

Well done to both of you. I do expect more of this team up in the future!

[@WilliamMuschett]

@@TheAnglerFiles plans are being made ;)!

[@ontcarpn]

Big time! Can’t wait to get out again!

[@woodangling]

The suspense hah! Love it will, the izumi segments and hook n look are huge favorites of mine as well

[@WilliamMuschett]

This truly opened my eyes to how often fish can be present in your swim without giving any indication. There were times when the screen was loaded with fish, and not a single indication above the surface. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Toronto_James]

2 mirrors on film at the same time? wowsers!

[@WilliamMuschett]

@@Toronto_James right? Absolutely bonkers!

[@WilliamMuschett]

@@Toronto_James not to mention three different ones within the span of that video 🤯

[@ontcarpn]

I may know of a few more in there 👀

[@PallatraxCatchMoreFish]

Awesome, we can learn so much true facts about what lies beneath, not contrived rubbish, by such unedited footage - well done!

[@WilliamMuschett]

It was certainly eye opening! Cheers!

[@TeamCarpFishing]

Awesome video Will. Crazy to have gotten all those mirrors on camera, than caught one of them!

[@WilliamMuschett]

@TeamCarpFishing I do believe my excitement spoke for itself 🤣

[@ontcarpn]

Great final edit buddy! Thanks for an awesome session, cannot wait to do it again. Still stoked about that mirror what a fish!

[@WilliamMuschett]

I'm super happy with the way it all came together, but it wouldn't have been possible without you, my friend! Absolutely stoked about future projects, and that mirror was indeed a career highlight!

[@Ashley-dy7bx]

Great video 👍 So what's your consensus on the shot on the hook? Did you notice more bites turn into catches? Your ratio of hooking the fish seems to be high, was there any bites that got away? , that was not included in the final video?

[@WilliamMuschett]

@Ashley-dy7bx based on our observations, the two rigs had 5 direct interactions where the rig fully entered the mouth (one from "shovel face/nose" which evidently struggled to pick up bait in general) 4/5 of those interactions as seen on camera resulted in a fish being hooked and landed which in my eyes makes this rig absolutely brilliant. I have full confidence that should that rig be picked up, it's more likely than not going to find lip.

[@ontcarpn]

When the hook entered a carps mouth it was caught. We had the Popup enter I believe two carps mouth but not the hook. This rig preformed far better than I expected. Good at getting that run on the first opportunity a fish picks up the whole rig. The only other rig I have tested so far to have the same hook up ratio is the LQ rig which essentially is a hair rig with a kicker tied with steamlink or any other coated braid. Strip back a small section from the end of the kicker back (2-3cm) and you are good to go. Either one of these rigs is be confident with using.

[@darrenking3622]

ive recently started using the shot on the hook rig, and im very impressed with its results, they are hooked soon as they suck it in, great rig

[@WilliamMuschett]

@darrenking3622 from many moons ago when I first stumbled upon it, I noted that it was mechanically a brilliant rig. Happy to hear you are having similar success!

[@yasinturkoglu879]

Great Job. Could you please advise that weight of shot and size of the hook ?

[@WilliamMuschett]

@yasinturkoglu879 Thanks! For both rigs I used a size 4 curve shank and a BB/AAA size shot (depending on size of bait/buoyancy) I have gone as far as an SSG sized shot when fishing larger pop ups.

[@Emgie41b]

Super option. Regarrds from Polen :) nice

[@WilliamMuschett]

@@Emgie41b cheers! 🇨🇦

[@jalakhunter8672]

Very cool video my friend

[@WilliamMuschett]

@jalakhunter8672 thank you kindly!

[@josephquinn7356]

Another great video! Can you tell me what brand/style rod-pod you’re using in the vid? Can it be purchased and delivered in the US? It’s time for me to update mine and the one you’re using looks sturdy and multi positioned. Thanks a lot - Joe (New Sub from from the US)👍

[@WilliamMuschett]

@josephquinn7356 Truthfully, that pod is an entry-level one that I purchased for my guiding operations. It can be purchased off of Amazon. The brand is Coonor, and it's comparable to most entry-level brand name carp product!

[@WilliamMuschett]

@josephquinn7356 appreciate the kind words, too!

[@CuongNguyen-lo2xp]

Please give me the information of the camera where it was purchased?

[@WilliamMuschett]

@@CuongNguyen-lo2xp @ontcarpn can help answer that!

[@ninos431]

Awesome video but location is missing 😂

[@WilliamMuschett]

Certainly can't be giving away the hot spots! 🤣
