​@scottsmith2310 why are you watching a fishing channel then? 😂

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

Over the years I find that I've gone from wanting to catch the most fish and the largest fish to hoping that those fishing with me have the best time. I still want to catch big fish and/or a lot of them, but seeing those with me light up when they bring in a nice bag is a great feeling.

[@ErwaAngler]

That's a natural process in mastering a craft. From student to teacher. Congrats that you stayed to fishing for that long 👍

[@rickvandepol7951]

Same bro, nothing better

[@seangriffiths9163]

I have the same buzz when I fish the river with a friend I will always place them in the best spots I would fish myself and when they catch their first Chub I'm as hyped if not more so then the person who's caught the fish. Nothing better then achieving what you set out for.

[@fishwithcarl]

Totally agree. It's a joy to see another do well, and see the smile on their face :)

[@laurenlewis5353]

Totally agree I was the same now when I take my sons I get just as much joy if not more seeing them land a fish and watching them smash their PB no better feeling.

[@andycopland3179]

Never been into carp. My first Pike still sticks in my memory. Frosty and foggy morning with a spinner and absolutely fell in love with Pike.

[@superuseriii]

Carp can get big over 100 lbs(world record is 116), they fight hard af, but there's a caveat, they spook easily, and depending on the angling pressure are hard as HELL to catch. By far my biggest fishing challenge, and I've caught catfish, carp, bass, trout, red/black drum, flounder, and more but have found carp to be my most difficult catch. Unfortunately pike don't exist in our waters or I'd fish for them too! If you want a challenge give them a go.

[@celestijus1]

I started fishing only around 5 months ago. I knew pretty much nothing about knots and pike and carp and ect. I knew how hooks work and approximately what i need to do when fish bites (lift the rod and reel in). Thats it. Fishing Tutorials and this chanel litteraly taught me all the knots and strategies and everything about the gear i need to have. You guys are my teachers and my inspiration and i am very gratefull to you. So far my biggest pike was 17.5lb and any spare time i have i go fishing. Most of my gear is Korda as well because it's your sponsor ;) and you have no idea how many lures I have lost in snags and trees and bushes while trying to learn how to cast :D it would be amazing to go fishing with you guys, would be amazing to learn more from the best :)

[@tommyh500]

Fantastic video guys. Fascinating to hear you talk about the change of the tide being the productive period for a bite. I live in Australia now and a hugely sought after fish here is the Mulloway, or sometimes called jewfish. They are also a finely tuned predator and are best targeted during the tide change where the water is slack. The theory being they can attack bait without expending too much energy due to the slack water. They then return to shelter from the current again and repeat
