Firstly, huge props to Brian for all of his behind the scenes hard work!! The video as usual is top notch, the lake is simply beautiful, the carp are stunning and the fishing was awesome!! Your friendhip with the guys is special Carl and long may it continue.

[@fishwithcarl]

Yes! He's definitely been the unsung hero of my last few trips. Just so focused on the fishing and baiting and getting us on the best bite possible! :)

[@alexainley4436]

Let’s gooooooo. 54 minute video. Perfect

[@noelynnneildorasamy1171]

Hey Carl Firstly, thank you for all the amazing videos and tutorials. I'm a huge fan all the way from South Africa. And let me be the first to say that we have a lot of dedicated, highly skilled carp anglers all over the country. I myself have been fishing for the past 28 years and have always loved carp since the tender age of 5 years old when I caught my first one. But even with all the experience I have over the years, I still learn so much from you. I even use your tactics on some of my swims with great success. I just want to say thank you for showing the world your passion and dedication for this graceful species. And I pray for all the success that you deserve for this channel. Cheers mate✌🏽

[@plantsbirdsandnature8783]

Great video as always! The salamander is a Long-tailed Salamander (Eurycea longicauda). Probably one of the most iconic salamanders of the TN Cumberland Plateau. Always love seeing them

[@fishwithcarl]

Thank you mate, appreciate that :) I'm glad - it's cool to hear you still enjoy the films even though you don't fish!

[@user-hy6is8kq7l]

Watching you on KZbin has been an absolute joy - the way you share your passion for fishing is truly attention catching! Your stories with friends, knowledge, and the peacefulness of those serene fishing moments inspired me to pick up a rod and venture into the world of fishing myself. The way you connect with nature, share tips, and simply enjoy every moment on the water is truly amazing. Thank you.

Dude, your videos are such an inspiration, I just want to go and fish right now. Merry Christmas, I look forward to more videos Camp. You should do a road trip to the beach in Florida where you could do ocean fishing, would be a fun change of pace, and you would catch some big fish.

[@stevepreston1919]

Your American friends should consider setting up a fishing holiday business. Through your channel alone im sure they would have UK customers who would fly over and want to re-enact the same adventures you have been through. They could rent the tackle to the customer and sell them bait etc then either leave people and check in on them or for an extra fee stay and fish with them as a guide....

[@jim18653]

AMAZING footage, love this channel, has to be the best fishing channel on the internet, quick question, im going tackle shop tomorrow and wondered what rigs i should get the kit for, i mainly fish carp so was thinking hair rigs, ronnies etc.

[@austinanderson9167]

A lot of people in the US think of carp as a trash fish but I took my friend who usually bow fishes for them to catch them on a rod and reel and caught multiple 30 lb fish on just bobbers and worms. Had a blast, glad other people here in the states enjoy them. You could find 30lb carp in a ditch here if you know where to look

[@fishwithcarl]

Ah that's awesome. Glad he was able to appreciate it :) Haha that's why I love American carp fishing!!

Carl, stellar video! An idea for your tutorial page would be a introduction to european bivy style tents that would be interesting and useful for the average American angler ( 1-2 people). As you could tell from blackfoot, bugs are a massive deal here at times, so bivys with floors are preferable to me at least. Cheers on the constant fascinating content! 👍
