Worm Fishing for BIG CARP | Alfie Russell

[@marksmallwood4938]

That’s a mega carp. I absolutely loved watching this. So refreshing to see a young angler fishing in such a traditional way with water craft and no ego.

[@pauledmonds3249]

Amazing video and an amazing young angler who completely understands the essence of real fishing. ESP really are a step up from the rest. All these over stocked lakes rammed with numpties who have only ever sat behind a bank of rods and alarms are my idea of hell.

[@teotriggs8941]

What about Nash? Everyone knocks Blair but this is his fishing-never see anyone put comments like these on his videos

[@streetcat1510]

I left the lake’s alone in the mid 90s, since 2000 I’ve only fished the rivers for carp n pike out of the tinnie I had made.

[@baldvale5418]

@@teotriggs8941 Alan is a top top carp angler, i remember when he went to fish a park lake in Liverpool and on his first cast he caught a twenty from right under the local anglers noses.

[@ashleyp919]

Wow what an amazing video .. no special rigs no advertisements just proper old school angling using wit and determination.. good lad

[@alexanderhill6957]

Thanks for inspiring hope into the carp enthusiast who can’t afford to chuck 5 kilos of shelf baits every time they fish 😂 top fishing mate!

From dark days Battling the Black dog to Battling big dark beautiful carp. Inspirational nice Angling Alfie. Peace, Love and light in all you do in life Young man

Free line worm a forgotten art. Caught the best fish of my life aged 17 on worm in 1994

[@squashguy74]

Brilliant as always from ESP and Alfie 👌🏼

[@michaeldejager2200]

That’s the best way of angling…👌🏻👍🏻

[@gjs-1379]

Well done Alfie! A very deserved Corker... Thanks for sharing.

[@will.k9730]

I wish I could do this type of fishing fed up of rammed day tickets

[@liontibbs5441]

I agree it's shit, the problem is it's hard to find decent natural places that ain't been ruined.

[@lordamercy5609]

Its actually not that difficult, it just takes effort and homework. If youre prepared to drive the miles and not catch the biguns there's a ton of this fishing to be had in the UK, just don't expect it to be advertised like day ticket waters! They may be hard to find, but fishing has become too easy these days, it never used to be !

[@Fishwish]

@@lordamercy5609 depends what part the country you live in.

[@UncalBertExcretes]

Yes this is actual fishing, I dont do fishing lakes anymore just river and natural lake.

Top skills Alfie well done mate not many people can say they caught a 40lb carp on freelined worm in the edge 👍🏻

[@ESPCarpgear]

Wasn’t quite a 40, but still a lovely one

[@eg6tec]

Nice to see you can still find the odd semi unknown fish in the south! Great fishing dude

[@martincoleman3008]

Awesome fish Alfie Good angling 👍👍🎣🎣

[@sumdumguy777]

Respect Alfie. True angler.

[@mejustanormalguy4742]

All my fishing is esp .can't always afford it but I save for what I need .esp has always done the best end tackle second to none .unfortunately my health leaves me low on money .other tackle just ain't the same .worms are free and great .

[@r.v6290]

clear water, snaggy, big and wild carp is pure heaven. any reccomendations for this type of fihsing in humber side or close-ish? found a few places like this but theyre very seldom

[@royclose946]

Well done alfie 👏👍

Proper fishing, well done.

[@stephenwilliams6939]

Cracking fish that Alfie ,I think worms as a bait are very underated ,please keep up the good work your inspiring lots of young people into fishing 👍 te young anglers into

[@OrthodoxDoctrine007]

Glad I had seen this because in the last 2 days Just gone I tried worms and started to catch small carp and then I got line snapped by a big carp because I forgotten to loosen the slip on the reel....Then I set the slip on reel and hooked a 2nd big carp but after a short while the carp managed to get off the hook because of barbless hook rules of the pool I was fishing....I have never done carp fishing before in my life. This is my fist time...

[@chervilgoacher4499]

Great work lad 👏👏👏👏

[@waynegreen5631]

Brilliant angling 🔥🔥🔥

[@MartynsAnglingAdventures]

Great watch!

[@sussexstu]

cracking video mate, well done

[@petercolvin4150]

That is indeed proper fishing. I always waggler fish the margins with worm/meat etc and always catch more than the bite alarm brigade. This way you actually set the hook rather than the fish hooking itself plus you get the initial burst when hooked unlike when using bite alarms as by time angler gets to the rod the fish has already made its initial bolt after feeling the hook. Well done young man.

[@mattiemclean9882]

You sound a bit clueless Peter. "The Bite Alarm Brigade' That will include Terry Hearn, Ritchie Macdonald, Rod Hutchinson, Chris Ball, Lee Jackson and pretty much 99% of carp anglers. Opportunities to freelance for carp in the edge and with enough water clarity to see what's going on are very rare

[@r.v6290]

@@mattiemclean9882 you must be a bite alarm brigader lol. yes very rare but the only type of carping worthwhile to some people. when i go for a 24hr or 48hr, i spend my days roaming the lake, and the nights sleeping behind buzz bars

[@mattiemclean9882]

Never underestimate the power of a worm cheapest bait ever if you don't mind a dig 👌nice one Alfie that girl a beautiful specimen

[@oliverroberts2492]

Consistency is key

[@reubenmills]

Any idea how he's hooking those lobs? Straight on the hook?

[@ESPCarpgear]

One lob, split into three just straight on!

[@davidgrenville1582]

Is that the small or large mat

[@ESPCarpgear]

Small :)

[@davidgrenville1582]

Cheers 🍻 what weighting sling do u use

[@celestinkosta7238]

Beautiful

[@paulhare7938]

caughtt all my pbs on maggot and worm

[@-BOOMA-]

How big we talking dude

[@paulhare7938]

40+ tons of 30s use mag aliners or medusa rigs you need atleast 2 gallons with corn and hemp or corn and crushed bollies with maggot you dont need to baIT AND WAIT SO MUCH GOOD FOR CASTING TO SHOWING FISH

[@-BOOMA-]

That's awesome man 2 gallons of maggots or worms? 🤙🤙

[@-BOOMA-]

Any good on rivers ? Nothing fast flowing

[@UncalBertExcretes]

Had all my PB carp on these low stock natural lakes fuck the commercials this is proper fishing.

[@rdgrdg1632]

Real fishing how it should be

[@wayne3006]

Great to see some proper fishing but we are keeping those fish out of the water a bit too long whilst chatting to the camera...

[@GDJ_R1]

i love gettin a lob on

All those houses behind and never been caught.

No, we have never filmed in Kent.

@CastAirLead be nice to see the take, and playing the fish maybe?

[@ESPCarpgear]

Alfie was alone when he hooked the big old girl so unfortunately there is no footage of it being hooked etc!

[@tadhghayden8440]

A fattie but nice oval form to it.....I only free line....but in my local lake there are maybe three fish.....they never show..even on sunny sunbathing days.......the water is turkey...tons of Pirhana a roach.....super aware of people.....when they take bread off top which is rare they sometimes swipe at it almost like a tuna trapping some thrown in mackerel bait. Very curious..could be a weakness in espically the big mirror....but right place right time and all that.....they seem to vacate an area that is pre baited....as something to be wary of....they are a challenge....if you want to have a go....they are beating me I confess thus far....

[@monkeybrains]

WICKID!!!!, GET IN THAT NET!!

[@kevevans6308]

Keep ye mask on and you'll catch loads of fish???
