Never mind Carl. Your videos helped me get back into angling after a 20 year break and I'm sure you've inspired thousands more; Matt's a proper laugh. Great video as always.

Even when Carl going against a pro angler Carl can fish well and knows how to make these videos entertaining 😊🎣👏

I'm a northerner and pie sandwiches sound lovely. Round here in Sheffield we still greet with "ey up" - you should visit a fishery up this way 👍

[@rachaelcole429]

I'd love to see more of you interviewing Carl, you have a very natural kindness with people and this really shows when you're asking questions, you get some great responses. 12.33 is my fave ❤️

Thanks Rachael!!!

Just want to say thank you! I am currently on dialysis 3 times a week I found your channel I love watching your videos and time flys in the hospital thanks pal 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@fishwithcarl]

You're welcome, happy the films are helping pass the time :) All the best mate

[@nickkemp1002]

great film, loved the interview part and the banter. Im sure you picked up a few things maybe worth a short vid on what you would change if you did it again, maybe a new talkie series Cuppa with Carl where you break down a few key things from the experience.

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks Nick! :) thats a sweet idea 👌

[@Kranky_Bloke]

Another great fishing video from Carl. The competition was tense and you didn't blank! 🤣🤣🤣 Seriously though, a really fun video. Thanks. 👍

[@itsmoyzehh3873]

Didn’t think I’d enjoy this, not a match fishing fan at all. That was a really good laugh to watch

[@sampadbury]

A few more videos with Matt and the Guru guys would be cracking! Video idea… he has to help coach you against another guru lad. Or… you enter a local match and Matt coaches you 😂 (great advertising for guru)

[@WeedsePoentah]

this combo is golden

[@granpollaa]

Great film, mate excited for more to come!

[@stephenhalpin1693]

Carl, I loved this video! All fishing is fantastic and I am sure every fisherman will agree? When I was only knee high to a grasshopper my father took me to the Grand Canal in the center of Dublin city and I caught my first roach , I was 4 years old. My passion for angling was born instantly for the love of the waters edge and the need to be by its side. My pursuit of the waters finned swimmers lead me along a path to where I found myself fly fishing and in my true element of angling. Your video with Matt caught something special for me ( Matt you are a legend!) an angler in his element and Carl (you are the embodiment of what it means to be a fisherman) so skillful in your approach bringing my thoughts back to that first ever roach ! You two were great on camera together, I reckon you should do a 24hr carp angling session competition rematch! Thank you for a super video! Tight lines and wet nets!

[@soccerfiend03]

This video made my Sunday morning! You guys were so funny together but what else is new? You're always funny Carl! From the shameless plug to your book (which I still need to get by the way) to catching that elusive trash fish when the boat was coming by. Thanks to you, Cal and Matt for all of the hearty laughs this morning!!

[@fishwithcarl]

Ahh you're so welcome mate, happy to hear that!! Thank you :)

[@liammaloney420]

Top stuff as always mate

[@Tass...]

Great video Carl and a really great question at lunchtime. The sacrifices made to be a match fisherman. They are enormous and Matt underplayed that answer. The match circuit is relentless at Matts level. I'm sure he loves every minute of it but it's a fulltime job. Match fisherman aspire to get sponsorship and then when they get it they have no free time. It's a real sacrifice being a top level match fisherman.

[@duzty122]

As a Canadian fisherman, this style of fishing in the UK has a special charm to it. Something about perfecting still fishing has turned something simple into an art almost. Love the videos!

[@fishwithcarl]

That's cool to hear :) UK has so much variety, it's quite mad, glad you enjoyed it!

[@Young_Anglers]

[@cliffdixon6422]

I match fished for a few years in the 80's, a couple of decent results (Won a trophy for last match of the season with a Jack Pike boosting the weight) but it was finished for me one afternoon on the Grand Union Canal at Denham - Got an awful draw and sat there having spent £80 on entry fees, bait and the bookie scratching around for tiny Bleak, weighing in a paltry 12oz (The section was won with 1lb 8oz). I asked myself if I preferred doing that or spending a couple of quid on bait and hitting Chub on my local river - No contest. Having said that, I admire the skill of those who do it and those I fished against. Highlight was a CALPAC match on the Grand Union a week before the national championships - All the big boys turned up to get a feel for the venue before the event. I got drawn between England international Dickie Carr and USA captain Micky Thill, I fluked a big skimmer on a poor draw and beat them both (Although I only came third on the section). Apart from winning a London Youth championship qualifier when I captained Hillingdon (Another fluke, caught a Tench that weighed double the next placed team) that has to be my finest hour.

[@colincowley5890]

Matt’s pure class and that video was as well Carl, brilliant 😂👍👍

[@fishwithcarl]

He is! Cheers Colin!

[@jackandwillfishing]

I’ve got a suggestion where you should fish and prove to people how ace you are , Harold park , it’s a hard water because there’s only 70 ish carp in there , it’s a massive park lake but if you catch its 12 pound or plus , the fish in there go up to about 32 pound (carp ) there’s 15 pound bream and about 10 pound tench , I recon you should give it a try !
