Hi mark , glad you like the video and thanks for the kind comments, unfortunately you will always get haters in carp fishing especially wen you catch carp , the reason why they do this is because my states this year alone are 1 x 50 7 x 40s 28 x 30s Not including loads of 20s , let them hate it’s just jealousy, I enjoy my carp fishing willing to help anyone , everyone is welcome in my swim if people wanna learn , think people have forgotten that carp fishing is fun and enjoy it
