[@leeh78]

Can't get enough of this film, the greatest angling film ever made, with the greatest uk carp ever, and Nick one hell of an angler ❤

[@ourloveofcarp3884]

What a beautifully told story of such an iconic capture, if this doesn’t inspire you to get out fishing nothing ever will! Thank you.

[@leedavies8325]

I can honestly say that has to be the best fishing video I have ever watched. I found myself leaving the lounge and going upstairs,closing the door behind me so that I was not disturbed and could not put my phone down. Incredible story and what a carp to finish it off,huge congratulations Nick. I got chills and my eyes got watery with emotion. Loved it.

[@petegalloway9744]

Wow thank you pal you have just done exactly that ....inspired me again I lost my dad at Christmas who taught me the joys of the bank but I've been out ,7or 8 times this year and blanked every session you've inspired me fella last man who could do that was my dad so thank you loved this film xxx

[@StickyBaitsTV]

Glad you enjoyed the film. Kind regards, Sticky.

[@joshuastephens9595]

' I've seen some lovely girls on the way down which is always a bonus ' 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@10-YearPlan]

"It will echo through time itself" - nailed it.

[@simongreening7113]

Nick at the end you said you probably didn't deserve that fish ... well let me tell you ... you bloody did !! what an inspiration well done 👏👏👏

[@StickyBaitsTV]

Glad you enjoyed the film. Kind regards, Sticky.

[@captainunwashed1308]

Terry has taught him so much, even how to tell a story!

[@aarondavies8486]

You have to be a child or just stupid

[@Charmoffalling]

Consider it a milestone. The pure craftmanship and effort and... taste! that went into making this is as far as I can oversee and know carpfishing films just something new and different. Yes there are films that are more on the instructional side than this. But thats not what THIS film is about. I so caught myself having a big grin on my face and in the end... I mean carpanglers dont cry, dont they? And of course old Nick just wears the sunglasses because of the brutal sun when he holds that creature, doesnt he? Yes there are films more instructional (and more advertising all the same) out there. But this is so much about just fishing. Why we do it. And whats it all about. Still smiling And greetings from Germany

[@StickyBaitsTV]

Glad you enjoyed the film. Kind regards, Sticky.

[@mattvelamail1281]

Best fishing video made, exactly what we love about fishing

[@petegalloway9744]

Well said

[@rambofpv4402]

25 jealous people out there 😪 Great film, well done Nick! 👌🙌

[@craigb9958]

Yes i really didn't get the dislikes on this video people clearly don't get a proper fishing video

[@baitrunner1000]

I was thinking why would people dislike this video. Weirdos

[@tyke4873]

Must be the Mainline crew,Even they have to admit ,the films sticky have been doing are just filmed stunning.I film my self and honest this is just really great footage.Of a special moment in time ,50lb out of thames.If i lived down there,i would be looking everywhere for those boats lol .

[@tyke4873]

Also on the wychwood gear,i love there stuff ,Had all rods from df's shim's but in all honesty i just love the low end 3lb tc wychwood 101's ,they have served me well.Love cork handled rods though .Only had two rods i like more and that was when i won carp talk comp ,and got two terry hearn mk 2's about 6 month before they went on sale ,they was just beautiful,and signed by him .Sold them like a prat.Fell out with fishing for big carp for around 6 year ,but still been filming em and photographing em .Underwater footage ext.But it become more about how good you looked than fishing ,it become stupid ,Level rods and bobbins all same height .Joke really.No more,I still gone for a nice kit ,since i got back into it.But nothing to tarty,But looks nice and does the job.Fishing a large gravel pit that is just un fished ,but there are at least two 40's in there.But loads of bream and tench roach .unlike the other pit at the side of it.I've done that one,and had the largest 4 fish in there.They are bigger now.At least 5 fish over 30 lb,for south yorkshire ,and not a circuit water there big fish that have got to this weight through feeding on natural food.Only seen one other angler on there fishing ,but he was after bream.But he told me hes been done a few times by just un stoppable fish,Carp bloody big carp to for south yorkshire two 40's at least rest are un known.Its the reason i love this new challange.fishing for the unknown,but knowing there are two fish both mirrors over 40lb.On there tomorrow,for next 12 month,so i will be doing blogs on that venue and my adventures.Going at it with at least one rod on bottom bait with a fake piece of corn ,or a 10mm tipper,snow man.I normally fish pop ups withy pool or supple hinge rig.But depending on weed tomorrow ,i will be using a stiff boom ,on there if weeds not bad,so looking forward to latching into one of these beauties.

[@lionsroar9811]

Probably animal rights activists had a run in with those nerds on a park lake after i caught a special 34lb leney not long ago

[@justputthefeckerback9483]

as someone who has spent the last 4 years in a vw t5 camper van with 2 dogs traveling throughout europe fishing catch and release for sea bass, in ireland ,france, spain and portugal, i can relate totally to the effort you put in and to the lifestyle you have, a wonderfull tale, thanks for shareing peter

One of if not THE BEST fishing vid . Easily said .

[@beme4146]

The sound of wood pigeons take me back some 25 years to a lake in Kent I struggled on 4 first year just losing fish after fish. But I loved it. Learning as I struggled. I love that sound, and even down to what we were smoking, bait recipes and taste/smell, sneaky moves etc...! Your blogs help bring back these great times, first twenty at 26, named wanted fish, proper character. Thankyou for helping me remember those good old days. Would love to be doing what you are, keep on making me happy🎣🍻 second time watching.

[@StickyBaitsTV]

Glad you enjoyed the film. Kind regards, Sticky.

[@jamesrussel1133]

What a heartfelt story of a fantastic journey Nick. Your passion comes flooding through. To be honest the capture of those river 30’s was enough, thanks for sharing. I had my own equivalent experience fishing my local Grantham canal fishing for carp and big perch most people didn’t know existed. The ultimate reward was the capture of a perfect unmarked 31 1/2lb common carp, such a rare beast for an urban canal. That fish will always be my most cherished capture. I have recently landed my first UK fifty shortly followed by a well known 46lb common but they pale into insignificance in comparison. But you are right it was all gone in the blink of an eye when three Otters were introduced and every one of the 16 carp was lost within 3 months. So appreciate every second while you still have the opportunity and enjoy. Such fishing is very very special indeed!

[@Newlyretired]

One of the best carp films I have seen. Superb photography, music & story.

[@ktwinnyrooke4719]

Well done nick chasing that dream paid off buzzing what a journey to witness respect ✊

[@matthewmullins6801]

So much respect to you nick, modern angling is all about that glamorous snapshot of a big carp but what you have done is to capture the whole journey, the sweat, the tears, the effort and shear determination that it takes to capture a fish like that, you definitely earnt that one mate, 100%

[@jamesmilburn1895]

The greatest capture from the UK of all time.
