CRAZY fishing action at the village pond!

[@simonhuss9619]

Spot on lads, good to see you back Carl, very brave to share issue with panic attacks, I'm quite a bit older than you and earlier this year suffered from same thing, not easy to talk about as you just feel a wush, like you I've got my head around it now, look forward to future videos this year, tight lines lads

Sorry to hear about your suffering dude, I truly hope you find your support network and are able to come past it. 10 years PTSD, fishing has saved my life. You are a big part of that recovery with your videos. Keep it up and best of luck.

[@ivornappinion9406]

Good words,fishings helped me in life TRUE fact brothers

[@richardgill9484]

Talking so openly about what you've been through, and the panic attacks, will help -and resinate with - a lot of people I'm sure. I did the overwork-burnout ten years ago and, like you, had multiple and rather strange illnesses. As an ex-racing cyclist I thought I could handle anything, but I've discovered that mental stress is totally different to physical stress and that panic attacks seem to be a warning sign that I'm not coping mentally. I hope you can get back to full fitness very soon and it's heartwarming to know you had such great support. Welcome back:-)

[@fishwithcarl]

I think you sum up the situation there perfectly. Amazing to hear your story is so similar. Onwards and upwards! :)

[@TeesAngler]

Great to see you back Carl, and I admire your open and honest comments on what you’ve been going through. So many people bottle it up, and others don’t recognise or understand what they are going through. One of the best ways to recover is to talk and feel supported.....here’s to the future, enjoy your fishing!

[@prinznorbert4553]

Glad that you recovered mate. Lovely watching you two. Awesome video!

[@jamesrussell2390]

So pleased to see you guys together doing what you do best. It’s so rare so see carpers genuinely sharing the action as you did on the quarry, something perhaps pretty much unique to brothers. Good to see you have taken control of your own future now ; hopefully you can now control the pressures on your work and private life and keep enjoying it and producing your quality videos. The quarry looks a fascinating place. Good luck to you guys!

[@fishwithcarl]

Hey James! Thanks for the comment, Alex and I often share our bites, otherwise we end up having quite unfair sessions where we both try our best but only one of us catches if the swims are way better than the other for example! Cheers for the support :) Carl

[@patriotnick2801]

Just seeing the lad Alex and how he grown over the years is like reliving your own years. Video formats. For my own boy teaching him the same. Must be great to have a brother. Blessingtons Carl

[@rhino5419]

Great to see you back and healthy. Been waiting to see you 3 fishing again. The wait is always worth it. Good health and stay safe.

[@davidstephenson9973]

As a returning angler after many years away. I am appreciating the enthusiasm, honesty and real connection with ordinary anglers. Thank you

[@robway782]

Great to hear you are better Carl (although you posted this some time ago!). Big respect for sharing your struggles so honestly. Your videos have been a source of inspiration to get back into fishing after a 20 year hiatus! Keep up the great work lads.

[@Greg_S_]

What a great Saturday morning in America! Watch this and wait for the winds to die down a bit before I get on the water! Tight lines, boys!

That lass right there is gifted! Awesome video ,good to see you guys again

[@thebones]

Glad you're ok Carl, followed you from the start, try and switch off as much as possible, you have a long life ahead of you, time for everything and your missus is delightful, you're lucky.

[@cbaileyuk]

Support and fishing solves many things. Good on you chap. I've been there. I remember feeling similar years ago and my parents taking me on holiday to a venue with a lake. I hadn't fished for 10 years and just seeing the lake, millpond still, one warm summers evening brought the passion back. I picked up a rod the next day and never let go. Carp brought me back. Will never forget that day. Or the carp.

[@mattiemclean9882]

It is SO good and so important that you talk openly about panic attacks... I've been suffering from those on and off for many years and there can be a stigma attached to them. Glad you are better and, if you haven't been told already, breathing techniques and meditation can work wonders. All the best.

[@ralphrohr]

Dear Carl, it is very brave to tell about your panic attacks here. And very good to hear that you are on a good way to handle them. Nothing to be ashamed off!!! Those who call this weak are so themselves. Theres a saying: when you admit that you are a coward, you are brave!!!! Keep on fishing!!! You do a great Job!!!! Best wishes from Germany!!! 👋

[@fishwithcarl]

Thank you Ralph :)

[@lgsmartfridge3yearwarranty458]

Great to see you back, I have severe social anxiety and therefore have hypnotherapy to help my panic attacks it really helps. I know how you feel better mate just try to keep your head up and stay strong

[@nickmiller3541]

Great to see you back on the Tube Carl and glad you are feeling better than ever. Panic attacks are very scary, i'v been there myself last year so can relate. Having good friends and family are the key to understanding and controlling them. Great Vid, well done all of you, can't wait to see the next ones hopefully not too far away.

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks Nick! Definitely not fun, but I've been without panic for a while now so things are looking up! :) Thanks again and tight lines!

[@singletrackjunkie3603]

In the words of Mr Blair"big ups" for sharing such a major part of your private life. As a person that has juggled with anxiety, depression and panic attacks in my own life I realise that this takes a major pair of kahunas. I wish you all the best with trying to manage your own issues.

[@SpanielshuntingtrialingNZ]

Great video and not just the fishing, so glad Carl you are smiling and well and had the courage to share what you have been going through 😊

What a great video! I've been suffering from anxiety and panic attacks myself for some time now, but it got really, really worse in the last months and weeks. So I'm glad to see that I'm not alone with this and it can be overcome!

[@fishwithcarl]

Absolutely! Stay strong man, and know that it's not your fault, take care of yourself and make decisions for your health not anyone else's benefit. Things will get better too if you share these things with friends or family, being honest and having support will help. x

Another great video, and well done Carl for sharing your anxiety issues, that takes balls...pleased you are on top of it, and it sounds like you have a wonderful support network. You and your brother must keep these videos coming, the variation and actual preparation, travel, and looking forward to the fish chase, is all part of why we love fishing...so many of the ‘bigger’ branded video posts have lost sight of this. Don’t change, just keep the videos coming.

Thank you so much!

Hey Carl.. Glad to see you better mate. I've suffered with anxiety for twenty odd years and I feel ya pain. Life sometimes throws us a curve ball but doing what we love helps.

Maybe he will who knows? Either way you're gonna meet a better class of human MOST of the time whilst fishing:) so get ya gear out n just add water

[@stevepettifer4896]

Thought I recognised that countryside - I started fishing after we moved to Cambridgeshire when I was 10 (1985). While the countryside wasn't much to write home about I realise now how lucky I was to have so much good fishing around me, albeit I didn't have the money to spend on much and we invariably caught bugger all! My last two sessions when I lived up there were on the Cam and I had my best ever net of fish on a river (about 60lb of mainly bream plus eels, perch, small chub etc), and my PB pike which was about 10lb. Happy days! Also, very brave to talk about panic attacks. I started suffering them a few years ago after going self employed and moving to another part of the country and taking on a bigger house. Then, just a month after buying my first ever house with my wife, my contract was canned. It's a horrible place to be when you're already not feeling too great and it can seem like they'll never end. I was in a very deep seeming hole, but things worked out in the end and being outside as much as possible did me a lot of good. Now, a year on, things are very much more settled and I've not had an attack in quite a long time. Glad to hear you're on a much more even keel now and loving life again, and it's important to remember that it's OK to not be OK. Oh and having a friend or friends who are there for you, just to talk or even just ask how you are, is worth it's weight in gold and more.

[@tedex8100]

Thanks for being a brave man, and putting the issue of mental illness out there to people,young and old alike. I have anxiety attacks every now and then,and agree with you,they can be a bit debillitating. I take tablets for it now,and it has cut the attacks drastically. Top respect to you fella.

[@fishwithcarl]

Thank you Ted, took a while to realise that the best thing to do is to admit the truth and share. Hope you continue to improve, all the best! Carl
