Facing KARENS and IGNORANCE while Fishing for URBAN Carp in LONDON

[@TomSwan-fk3hu]

No one cares for and respects fish more than the angler. We’re also on the front line in fighting for the health of British waterways (which are currently in a sorry state).

[@theHorizonLiner]

Facts 💯

[@NobleKorhedron]

EXACTLY! Because we want to come back year after year, and fish the same places...

[@SkrrtFishing]

Hahahaha amazing. People are honestly so wrapped up in their own worlds and think that catching fish is illegal.. love how the police never showed up.

[@karlwatkins2331]

Another cracking vid again mate I have the same problem on the canal dock I fish in bridgwater somerset I just ignore them for the ignorance of these ppl I pay £50 a year to fish for my rod licence to put all my fish back alive because this is what I love doing as my past time keep going 🎣👊💯💪

[@theHorizonLiner]

The crazier thing is that in one way it makes sense of them to think so, considering how many things are illegal nowadays 😮‍💨 and worse still is that these days, police are likely to show up for such a thing!

[@SkrrtFishing]

@theHorizonLiner it's funny, you never hear of the people stepping in when someone tries to nick your car or bike, yet a legal past time. Everyone looses their damn mind!

[@happydace6991]

If you do not have permission beforehand, fishing without that IS illegal you ignorant melt !

[@Ror0009]

They need to start arresting for wasting police time and 999 responders time

[@theHorizonLiner]

They'd probably run out of handcuffs!

[@Sommervillle]

Seems like a good idea on paper but an even bigger waste of time in reality!

[@grant1133]

Youre always a lot more respectful than I would be. Patience of a Saint. Keep at it because as you say everything is private that didn't used to be, you should have the right to fish if you're doing things properly without being harassed by someone who thinks they own everything they can see from their house.

[@theHorizonLiner]

Thanks man, and that's exactly it as you say!

[@mrhydeEdwards]

I don't know how you're so calm having to deal with idiots who think they know better keep fishing I enjoy your videos

[@theHorizonLiner]

I think I'm just used to those kind of people by now haha, and thank you I'm glad you do! All the best 🎣🤙

[@theblahh..]

Over here in vic australia its ileagal to return carp to the waters so if a karen or ken comes up youl just have to tell em they're breaking the law 😂

[@DiamondCake2]

These vids are hilarious. I can’t believe how many Karens you have to endure doing something as innocent as fishing.

[@broker72]

Great videos ! Curious what fishing gear you use ? Rods , reels , lures / bait and your net, I’m just getting into fishing and no idea what to look at, like your set up as it looks lightweight and portable which is what I would prefer to be similar to your type of fishing . Keep up the great videos

[@Kush-rc4fz]

Would they rather you go steal phone and stab people or go fishing and enjoy yourself 😂

[@theHorizonLiner]

Which of those would be easier for them to make a scene out of? They're only wannabe vigilantes when it suits them.

[@brokenlyric8253]

Amazing clip as always, im so glad whenever you post. Where exactly is the last park where you caught the mirror? And dont worry about the karens and these ignorant people. I deal with them almost every time when I go pike fishing in canal. Honestly i had the luck to meet some amazing people the last few sessions.

Thank you! I'm happy you think so! As for the next one, I'm already working on it 🙌

I can’t believe the hassle you get! Grew up fishing on the canals and docks, never ever got trouble it was normal.

[@PaultenDam1988]

I cant believe how all the people are not knowing a thing about fishing and then Play Karen 😂

Ridiculous indeed, yet that's usually how it is 😮‍💨

[@Fishpunch]

I go through the same thing fishing in New York City. I've had cops called on me a few times from Karen's accusing me of trying to catch turtles when I'm fishing for carp. I've had the cops trying to tell me I can't fish while I was fighting a carp and I made them Google the park rules that prove I can indeed fish there 😂

[@Stylingsid]

😂😂😂 well played gents

[@theHorizonLiner]

Cheers! 🎣🤘

[@SiSiChi44]

Honestly buddy I take my hat off to you both! You remain so calm during these encounters, I've only ever had one person come up to me and start causing problems and it took me about 2 sentences before I resorted to the old "why don't you just foxtrot oscar, and tell your story walking." 😅 Nice catches though lads! 🎣👍

[@theHorizonLiner]

Thank you! I suppose there are various manners in which one could deal with these encounters 😂 all the best man 🎣🤙

[@deanobrien9342]

O no you killed all the fish 🤣 bro your brilliant 😂

A little game to play with the ones that can’t tend to their own business! It involves wearing a mask and when they get to close you basically raise a ruckus and say back away and stay 7 feet away from me right now! make sure you yell that at them!!! They are usually so astonished and surprised they don’t know how to react and usually turn around and walk away especially if you address them in a somewhat angry manner!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@theHorizonLiner]

I think that would just make them call the police even faster 🤣

[@urbanexoticuk]

Also glad your uploading again

[@theHorizonLiner]

Thanks man I've been meaning to do so again for a while!

[@Michael_Lane_Fishing]

Man- the world has gone mad lol. These people are deluded. Great vid. You dealt with it well. Mick from Aus

[@getinnotimetoexplain]

Damn this is an eye opener. I was thinking of starting fishing as a hobby and I live in London. I’d hate to have to deal with these anti-fishing people especially because I’d be fishing alone.

[@aspect4703]

you guys are too funny I am so glad I don't need to deal with this feel bad for you guys

[@longjohn6289]

[@dangerousbeans8067]

You should try fishing first light when all the morons are asleep it's usually a more productive time anyway .Don't know how you put up with them lol

That's true! Though in that case one must still watch out for the early morning dog walker karen 😂

Don't know what canal your fishing pal, but if those people started harassing anglers on my local canal, there'd be more Karen's than fish in the water 😅🤣 Tight lines mate great video.

She called the police because she was causing Alarm and Distress to a fisherman LOL

[@roofingcontractors3349]

Oh my good lord hissy the fit people get in over a bit of fishing is unreal, id be locked up push em straight in drink

[@CristiNeagu]

5:16 That is exactly right. You'd think the canals are public. You'd think the rivers are public. But no, they're not. And it's hard to find out who owns a stretch of water. And they have their own silly rules that make absolutely no sense. They're people that were given control over a stretch of water and they're milking it for money while doing absolutely nothing in exchange. They're not maintaining the habitat. They're not cleaning it. They're not repopulating with fish. This is why you're not allowed to take fish, by the way, so they don't have to repopulate. The rod licence you buy should be enough to fish in any publicly owned water. That should be made law. And what's sad is that the right to roam people hate fishermen because, from their point of view, it's the fishermen that don't let them paddle down rivers. In reality, it's the water owners that make life difficult for all of us.

[@theHorizonLiner]

That is exactly right!

[@789stv]

Move to Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿,no rod licence required and people respect you. Im afraid many Europeans dont have respect and kill everything ,its not in our culture.

[@tonyska]

I remember a time when people just minded their own business. Since lockdowns, we have become a nation obsessed about what others are doing. People also feel entitled to tell others what to do without having any authority to do so. We have to push back against these type of people.

[@phaedrus12134]

I'm not a huge carp fisherman. Usually, cut them up for bait if I catch them. But the areas you fish are so cool. I'll def be watching your channel more :) You need to come to the States and fish Wyoming. Most the land is blm (public) land, sooooooo much fishing. Plus cold water trout, pound for pound, are some of the hardest fighting fresh water fish you can catch. So much fun :)

[@whh3946]

You need to work on your netting lads and try not to lift them in a net when they are bigger, try to use a weighing/retention sling and make sure the fins are flush to their body so you dont damage them.

[@helopi8]

Zombie knives and gangs running riot but all these idiots do is hassle you two 😂

[@cwork5485]

I dont freshwater fish, but I go sea fishing, which also includes the tidal part of the River Medway, vast areas of the river front that was council owned, flats have now been built and thevowners didnt like the fishing, so they are now no fishing. But my worst Karen encounter was on a beach, where I had cut up what had been frozen mackeral for bait and had this Karen screaming at me and threatening to call the police as she thought it and the lugworm I had next to it were disgusting.

We have Fisherman Harassment laws, which, if in the US these people would get a ticket and criminal summons. Does the UK have anything similar?

[@dannycrane7663]

No we don't but we definitely should 👍🏻

[@Eupolemos1]

You definitely seem to catch more Karens than fish. It's a shame how many want to ruin such harmless activity. Glad you treat the people with same respect as you treat the fish. Keep the lines tight brother.

[@andrewsteel-k4i]

Unfortunately too many people have been poaching fish so people react like this when people fish in urban areas. As a fisherman I see no problem as long as fish are put back

[@dazbooth7]

What the hell is wrong with these people, we look after the fish and take every care to not hurt them! Well, any responsible angler does 😅

[@urbanexoticuk]

I wouldnt be so nice about it but only ever had to deal with one karen and two the male verison of karens darrans

One Karen and two of their male equivalents is already something, but I'm not even surprised! If anything they're becoming progressively harder to avoid.

Liverpool has some excellent park lakes and canals. Us scousers are pretty chilled, in liverpool you'd get people being fascinated, intrigued, asking you questions about angling, places to fish!? From your videos I get the impression not so much in London just a bunch of social justice warriors / Champagne socialist types with nothing better to do?

In the US they have hunter harrassment laws, to stop people like this. I would say to them that its your legal right to fish public waters, and if they bother you a second time thats section 1 harrassment. Tired of these idiots bothering anglers, especially younger ones who want to get outside and do something 👍

Thing is I know for a fact you can’t fish the pond where you caught the carp, so your out of order as well

[@MasterChiefTheChef]

Can you prove it?

[@dalemorrey-p1952]

You should see if you can argue you are conservationists

[@andrewvokes6242]

I fail to see the enjoyment you get from catching carp, no matter how big they are. Theyre like catching an old boot, theres rately any fight in them, and while they might be edible after putting them on fresh, clean water for around three days, the flesh is bland and softly under-firm, and full of blood filled black veins. Theyre a disgusting fish. Here in Australia they have invaded the lower reaches of all our rivers and creeks and they inhabit most of our lakes. They are also in large numbers around brackish eturine waters. We regard them as an ugly, slimy, disgusting pest and they are officially classed as a noxious introduced nuisance species. When people catch them they mostly leave them on the bank, for the river rats and feral cats to eat.

[@KerwinConnolly]

[@yeoo5106]

What happened to yesterday's new video? I was looking forward to watching it 😢

[@theHorizonLiner]

I took it down as I realised there were parts of the upload where the frame rate had been reduced significantly. This was likely due to a technical issue with youtube's compression system during the uploading process, which apparently does that occasionally. It's an issue I wasn't previously aware of, as it's the first time it happens with one of my uploads. In my opinion it made for a bad viewing experience, so I decided it was best to just re-upload the video. I've done just that, and the newly published version was uploaded correctly this time! From now onwards I'll be verifying that videos have uploaded correctly before publishing them. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the newly uploaded part 3 of fishing London 2023! All the best 🎣🤘
