Korda Thinking Tackle Podcast

Fishing KZbinrs Carl and Alex are two young brothers who have a passion for fishing and now make a living as full time creators.
They have both previously worked in the fishing industry for a number of years, before deciding to produce their own films and make videography their full time living.
Their channel, Carl and Alex Fishing is based around their regular angling endeavours both domestically and around the world.
Some of their best captures and personal relationships have been captured while filming, making them highly relatable and inspirational.
On this episode of The Thinking Tackle Podcast they speak candidly about many of their personal experiences, which have lead to their current careers and where they are today.
New EPISODES regularly available from Korda.co.uk and KZbin

We just wanted to say thank you to Korda for having us on the show, but more importantly to all the lovely people who have left positive comments down here. We love ya all!!! From Carl and Alex.

[@lukekyriakides8186]

Popped up on my watch list and thought yes Korda hats off for having these guys on your podcast, then after watching it and you explaining that Korda are fully supporting you guys with no pressure to push there products really shows what a great team of guys they are. Danny is really proving that he is a humble guy and has full respect from me. Keep up the great work Carl and Alex.

[@user-to2pf8rb5m]

These two will be legends in 15 years, so many youngsters relate to them and wil grow up watching their videos.

I wanted to say how much I enjoyed this podcast and echo what Barry Peck stated about the way Carl and Alex conduct themselves. A real and good example of how our younger generation should be behaving, speaking eloquently and intelligently. On another note, I wanted to say how brave it was for Carl to admit that he had suffered from a mental illness and how it affected his life. This took a lot to admit this to the thousands of listeners and it connected with me and my mental health struggles over the past 5 years. I was 11 when I started fishing with my dad and went on to do a lot of match fishing at different venues and then onto a little bit of carp fishing. But my life was turned upside down and I struggled every day with mental illness as well as trying to work and be a father. I stopped fishing over 10 years ago until I started watching the Korda videos and also Carl and Alex’s videos on KZbin. They gave me inspiration to go back to what I enjoyed as a youngster and start fishing again. To be outdoors with nature, give myself some headspace to think and get away from the things that have brought me down. I’m still not out of the woods yet but watching these videos is driving to get onto the bank and I’m slowly getting some new tackle and gear together to make that first trip this year if possible. Hopefully going to attend Carp Zwolle too. Thanks all at Korda, Carl and Alex for the motivation and keep the quality videos coming.

[@robcollins6285]

Grounded guys living the dream - good luck to them

[@norbsgaming7777]

been watching carl and alex for years now and they produce some of the best carping content on youtube. the fact that their videos usually get more views than nash and kordas videos says it all... these lads have great content and deserve the recognition.

[@dangoesoutdoors897]

Huge Carl and Alex fan these guys put out consistently great videos. Big respect to them for going full time on youtube. Thanks Korda for backing them and having them on the podcast

Much love Billy, thanks a lot!!

[@Herkyismyhomeboy]

Nearly 2 hours long and yet I think you could easily do one or two more of these with Carl and Alex. What an amazing chat you had here! Even though they both said this felt so different they both did so well too. Maybe you could have them on in the future as a round table discussion? The chemistry at the table is obvious. More more more!

[@fishwithcarl]

Cheers Michael! :)

[@MrMichael1041]

Great to see Carl and Alex again working hard I hope all there endeavours work out

[@christianreeves9448]

These 2 are decent well rounded young fellas. As kids and now they are a credit to their parents and should be supported and applauded. They always celebrate catching any fish and show total respect to every catch and everyone around them. I wish them every success and say "well done lads". The haters should save it for people that deserve it. Keep up the fantastic work fellas and good luck with a proper tackle company backing you.👍👍👍👍👍

[@fishwithcarl]

Christian Reeves thank you so much Christian!b

[@RicTic66]

Top lads, one of the best fishing shows on the Internet. I always look forward to their next adventure. And bottom line they are bloody good anglers who regularly catch specimen fish and you can't fake that. 👍😊👍

[@fishwithcarl]

Big thanks Ric :)

[@DAbramUK]

Nothing but admiration for these 2 young guys. I'm sure they will both go on to inspire many a young angler in the future

[@charlespitt30]

So great two Young people with such passion for fishing keep doing what your doing. Brilliant.

[@2step661]

Carl and Alex are great. I've followed them from when they were just young kids. The park lake campaign vid took me back to my younger years, the enthusiasm and the unknown caught on film just shows the magic of fishing. Amazes me why kids nowadays just aren't interested

[@medicine_man_sam]

Keep saying it men. You guys are the most natural brilliant videos out there. For people watching this who want to get into Carl and Alex vids, watch reservoir diaries PT 1+2. Want to see dedication and enthusiasm. Go NOW!

[@stevengreenhough4232]

Some of the trials and tribulations and personal stuff you've shared, it's pretty brave putting it out there. Sometimes reality bites for all of us but it's bloody refreshing to have it laid bare.

[@daveparry100]

great pod, these 2 still on the up and well done Korda for the sponsorship, a great team

[@petergilder6666]

I have followed these two guys for a few years now on both KZbin and Insta as well as facebook……..they are fantastic to watch and the quality of filming is great. they are such inspiration to thousands, you can tell by just looking at the comments every time they put a new vid up...…..keep up the great work guys!

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks so much Peter ;)

[@trevorwhitehouse9835]

great podcast, now going to go back & watch all their videos again! Keep up the great work Carl & Alex

[@scottwalker6257]

The quality of your vids is superb. Way you tell a story and build a narrative really engages and can only build to reach an even wider audience. Both really likeable chaps with individual personality quirks. Good to see both coming through. Vids are great success can only continue to grow 😚

[@robclinton5237]

well done guys watched you both from the start fished the waters and rivers and sea you have filmed in uk hope it all gets better and better for you both

[@meanbaits.highendcarpbaits3623]

Good job lads. Reservoir diaries was a big favorite of mine. You should consider visiting South Africa some time for Carp fishing...

[@danfothergill]

Great podcast I’ve watched Carl and Alex since the beginning and had the pleasure of meeting them back in the day at the farnborough angling show. Good to see they’re successful.

[@leekirk4493]

Great to hear they have sponsors to support what there doing

[@trevcornwall8160]

I could listen to these guys all day! So much so I think you could do another interview with the stories they have! Seriously consider it! You only need to look back at the years of videos to see that! Great video all the same! Nice work....

[@lespaul8236]

Im 56, been fishing for 48 years and I still learn tonnes of stuff and different technique. A lot of the videos I watch are of Carl & Alex, brilliant anglers and give really useful tips one such a very wide range of fishing types. Thanks guys, and please keep doing what you're doing.

[@prisoned]

Nice to see Carl & Alex progress over the years, look forward to seeing more videos!.

[@stewartarmstrong6218]

How genuine are these guys... got to love them

[@leesagar8651]

My dad taught me fishing at 5 years old with the little plastic wrapped fishing set of rod, reel, floats, hooks and weights pack you generally see in seaside shops. 31 years later and I'm still fishing and watching these lads, along with others, go at it and still learning new things. I come from the days of John Wilson, Matt Hayes and Rex Hunt on TV and the news of Terry Hearn catching a 55lb record was all over the Angling Times when it was in newspaper format. Angling evolves and regardless of age and experience there's always something new to learn. Hell, I've only just started using fluorocarbon leaders this year because of watching KZbin video's and discovering the benefits of it with more abrasion resistance, less stretch etc these lads are doing a great job!

[@christianfacer2460]

Finally been waiting for this episode since you teased it the other day!

[@mikerichmond2593]

Well done lads. Conducted yourselves very well. Imagine if these 2 were around in the early thinking tackle days. Hamidi, dovey, penning, Carl, Alex and Danny. The enthusiasm would be through the roof.

[@fleosflanacek]

A truly great insight into the lives of two great guys... you two are inspiring many and will continue to inspire countless others in the future. Tight lines 🙌❤

Been folding Carl and Alex from the days of farm ponds bowl hair cuts and Velcro trainers . when there dad use to drop them off. And watched them process on there fishing cannel. Flying by the seat of there pants spoke to Alex at one of the Brentwood carp shows told him not to stop what they had started just goes to show if you follow that gut feeling will lead you down the right path. Well done to you both. At yet again top pod cast. Thanks again.

[@fishwithcarl]

Oh yes, the days of velcro trainers, you really have been behind us from day 1! Legend! Thanks so much.

The filming and content of there videos is always impressive If you’re not subscribed to there channel already then I definitely recommend it 🎣

Thanks so much!!!!

[@andrewmorrow3862]

The best one so far... I wasn't too sure when I first see it advertised as I had never heard of Carl and Alex as I'm pretty new to youtube but your a credit to angling. I'm now a full on subscriber and love your channel and really enjoy your videos its like a modern day passion for angling well done lads keep up the great work...

Keep up the great work boys. You are the next gen and doing it on your own terms.

[@allthingsfishuk8926]

I got into watching Carl and Alex through my interest in koi. 2 such genuine, nice lads. I enjoy everything they do and wish them every success.

[@almorrison2040]

Great video. Good to see some youngsters taking advantage of the changing landscape in angling. Brave! FYI the carp in Australia can be fished for (mud marlin as we call them). Each state has different rules but generally anglers are encouraged to not return them, it isnt law. If you want a challenge try aiming for wild Siamese carp in Thailand, not in a stocked commercial lake. Sirikit reservoir has them well over 100kgs. Its 64000 acres though. A tad larger than 280.

[@DamienE11]

Yes, each state has their own laws, in Queensland it's illegal to return them or keep them as pets, in Victoria it's illegal to keep them as pets without a permit or return them live without a specific permit (For example there is a bank angling club in Victoria which has a licence to catch and release carp at their competition days), in NSW it's allowed to return them, In the ACT you're allowed to return them, in South Australia it's illegal to return them, In Western Australia as far as I can tell you're encouraged not to return them but you're legally in the clear if you do, and in Tasmania they've just been eradicated. Carp aren't found in the Northern Territory. So traditional UK style Carp fishing is perfectly legal in NSW and the ACT, and in Victoria you can release if you're in one of the few competitions that allow it.

[@mattsanders8467]

Totally agree that their film’s are quality and the sound tracks are superb.

[@JonathanLungley]

What a really nice couple of lads Carl and Alex are. Ive loved watching their youtube channel and content for some years now and can only think how proud their parents must be of them both. The young generation get slated a lot nowadays, but these guys are real gentlemen and great ambassador's to general angling. I cant wait to see their up and coming adventures and wish them every success with their videography futures. We need more people like Carl and Alex in Angling. Well done to both of you Sir's.
